R1 engined GKD update
sdh2903 - 24/9/10 at 07:13 PM

Well bit of an update, I started out building a 318is engined GKD legend but got hooked by a blade engined car. So now I'm using an R1 engine.

GKD legend R1 build

Looks great.

Love the 1 piece tunnel top you've got a huge range of cheap diffs to suit the r1 motor too.

I wouldn't get too far along the tunnel until wiring is completed. You'll want to get in there a few times in future.

My sides are velcroed on, and the top, being an MK, just sits there, as do the Cateringvans'. Yours (as nice as it is!) looks like it will be using rivnuts, self tappers or rivets.

What colour you going for? Got a long roll of white for mine, going to wait till the bitter end to put it on though

Sides and top will be held on by a few stainless flanged allen screws so all will be removable in minutes.

I've got a roll of black kicking around so will probably use that.
