Aries Locoblade Progress
IainL - 23/7/11 at 08:35 PM

Bit of progress today on my Aries Locoblade.

Tomorrow my look at mounting the Digi Dash and then if I feel brave my tackel the body work on the rear end, not looking forward to sorting out the rear arches

Also this week brought a pair of Titon harness from Prima Motorsport, I must say top serves from them, order Tuesday, got an email Wednesday ready for despatch, received them on Thursday.

Haven't added it all up yet, but most of bits I've got from Steve @ Aries including the engine.

I`ve stuck to a tight budget and so far its £5,500 but i`ve included the tools, all iv got left to do is sort the blow in the exhaust connect the radiator and speedo, am thinking yours must well over £7,000.

Yeah probably not far of £7k, I'll have to put a brave face on and add the receipts up.

I have tried to save money where possible 2nd hand wheels, sourcing other parts like the fan,relays etc else where.

If you are interested here's a link to my Flickr photos, you got any photos of your build?
