Mk Indy R1 build pics
Thought I would share some build pictures. I have to get the car ready for an iva as it was built and registered in guernsey.
If anyone can see anything that I will need to do please let me know
New hi-spec calipers
New rear brakes with powder coated yokes
Dash all working now with gear indicator
New stupidly expensive fuel cap
Baffle plate fitted, with working oil light now
I still have this mess to sort out
Covered steering rack
Thanks

The pipe lagging may not be accepted
The front guards probably need edge trimming
Nice colours as said

Looks nice, but what does the "L" on the gear indicator stand for?

Looking good.
I watched the ad' on Pistonheads. Very distinctive colour scheme and it occurred to me that there can't be many Indys on Guernsey!
I got the (mistaken) impression it was a completed 'driveaway' with nothing to do.
Enjoy !

For the seller there was nothing to do and I drove it home which was great fun. The speedo did not work, oil light was on and when I got home the rear
Calipers were seized on. I then saw your car and sold my aero screen, fuel cap and harnesses, new Calipers all round and fixed all the problems. In
guernsey you can just build anything and they give you a log book without even seeing it

Done a bit more on the car
After 4 months waiting I finally got my aero screen
Arch trim fitted along with side repeaters
Rear fog light and reverse light fitted
Water system all working now and I used my plumbing skills and made it all from copper tube. Also moved the header tank to under the nose cone

You have made a nice job of the copper pipe, but I think it could do with painting black, copper pipes only look good on steam engines

I really want an alloy rad so once the car is on the road I will then buy one and have to change the pipes so will powder coat then
Couple of iva questions
Does anybody know if you have to have a key to start the car as this is just on a button?
Can my indicators just be on on/off buttons on the dash?
Thanks

You will need to put some mesh grille infront of the MK grille. That's an adjustment I had to do test day.
Other than that your car looks awesome.
