long time no see yet again, but if you remember that last time i said hello i would be starting a new project after the regrettable sale of the last one .

soon to be started is a new project using an MC-Sorely +2+4 chassis , 4wd and some serious amount of grunt , possibly turbocharged but looking more and more normally aspirated yummy

i'll be keeping a step diary as i did previously aswell

hope you sorted all your problems out, and good to see ya back!

also, if i really wanna do my job properly, i get 5% comission on all ticket sales wohooo

Good luck with the new project and you know the turbo route will be more fun don't you!

Cheers

Nick

and if your late for work you always have a valid excuse that that train was late!

Glad to see you back and at it so to speak, now lets see if you can knock out another chassis quick smart!

lol, the chassis wont be as quick as the last one - well, maybe the outline will be

i've also got a spare computer that will be going into the garage so i can look instantly at plans etc etc that are on the computer and have online help instantly avalable

Do you have to hold onto the electric cable ? You'll need three days off to recover. Get stuck in there and good luck in the new job.

hehehe - rules and regs state that 9' is the clearance distance, except when life is in danger, then its 3 foot

however, yer - looking forward to this one, not gonna be able to go as fast as i did previously, but winder is here so its time to bump and grind

Welcome back Graceland Nice to hear your well! A lot of lads have got there cars running and some like Scotlad have SVAed.

bloody hell :eek:

wish i didnt sell mine now as that would have probably have been near completion if circumstances hadn't changed

gonna have to pull my finger out with this one i think......

you'll be fine... its too late to finish it this year (maybe even next year too by now!) so i guess theres no really rush! summer 05 would still be impressive! i dont think mines gonna see the road this year and its nearly finished!

come september i have 4 weeks off from work, i am going to go for a graceland esqe super quick build, see how far i can get, it might be interesting cause i have every thing i need to complete build right in the workshop now!!

go for it liam!!!!!!!!!!!

just a shame ya live so far away, if you was closer then i'd have come down for a nosey

joel - next year isn't out of the question at all m8y

Did I tempt you back with talk of Locost Paul

Good to see your going for it again..

I am going to do this first one on this book chassis and then do a MC long+wide ... With the 4x4 and a Cosworth 24V...

And If I get the Sapphy runnign with the Eaton M62 Super charger then maybee do that to the Locsot as well..

24V Supercharged 4x4 V6 ....

I think that will be quick enugh

Good to see you back m8..

Hi,
What Chop saw is that, it looks like a woodwork one. I have been UMMing and RRRing over what to do, the Abrasive chopsaws for metal are all 2-3KW electric motor jobs, and £300. I thought of using a woodwork one (cheaper) with an abrasive disc in it, however the motors on the woody ones are only 600w - 1600w. and the 1600w ones arent cheap.

I would be most interested to know what you have there, and how good it is, and what the blade in it is. Also is it a new saw, or an old (part worn out) saw.

I would appreciate your experienced view!

Best Regards.

Geoff

PS... I cant saw straight with a hacksaw to save my life!.

heya geoff

its a wood saw - b&q special, 30 quid when i bought it - used a wood blade for a few cuts untill that died, then bought a metal blade from screwfix - never had no problems with it, cant tell you what size the motor is, but it cuts well

Thanks for the B&Q tip, I will have a look in the loacl store.. Any info on the blade, like price or part No?.. was it a TCT, type any details wold be welcomed.
Sorry to ask, but You have got the brain cells active.

BTW... thanks.

Regards

Geoff

eya geoff

i cant remember what blade it was, been a while since i bought it - have a look on screwfix - www.screwfix.com
