good to see all the body back on again.
still a little way to go, fuel lines, electrics, interior and stuff, but seems there light in the tunnel!

Bloomin 'eck, Blake! when did you find time to build that - thought you spent all your hors posting on here!!

Congratulations! Do you need to IVA it or is it straight on another's chassis?

Quality. About time too!!

Would love to see more pictures. What engine does it have? Whats the spec?

i post on here so i don't spend money on the car
will need IVA, its a spaceframe chassis, but i'll get it working and THEN worry about IVA. might seem a silly way to do it, but i know there's stuff like that bar down the window which will be an issue, so i'll get it all running first, then concentrate on IVA stuff
trying to calm down on the posting too lol

ooh the spec, well... and here's why its taken so long lol:

Engine & Cooling:
-vauxhall X20XEV on ZX9R carbs, with megajolt
-full stainless 4-2-1 exhaust, currently being modded (still) as it was for a C20XE engine
-mk4 transit radiator, and custom header tank, bracket still being made
Ford sierra type 9 gearbox

front suspension:
-SHP wishbones, not sure which shocks though
- Bedford Midi van front uprights and brakes
-mk2 escort quick rack (2.4 turns?)

rear suspension:
ford capri atlas axle, retubed, shortened, Quaife half shafts, chassis specific bracketing
-sierra brake calipers
-not sure what the discs are... they are the fronts off of something though


er, think thats all the main stuff. no idea about power or anything yet will need to get it running and find out, then work out how to improve it

looking great

It might be a bit wrong but I like its rear end

need i say more?

I think you might need to update your 'building' line, Blake - your engine is hardly an 'Ecotec' any more, I don't think?

Ecotec, but without the Eco how about a Vauxhall Tec engine

looking good apart from the colour scheme which is just awful...

come to think of it have you got an idea yet of the paint? that avatar one looks quite smart

the body is nowhere near perfect, so it'll be plain white to start with. then i might start getting a bit more adventurous later. came up with an idea yesterday, i might repaint it every winter ha ha different colours every year

more photos, obviously lots of tiding up of hoses and cables to do
