WOW!

simply amazing. isit me or does some of those pics look like a nova lol.

cant wait to see this in action. what do you think the handling will be like? more straight line than track?

What's new ?

Funk me,

That looks mental, going to be something special when its done

fuckin spunk worthy!

awesome taz!

Does look fantastic that like.

The front of the car is going to look fucking great with the wide arches. best type of arches to do IMHO, rather than maxi type bubble arches.

rear arches could only be done on something as mad as that tbh !!


Looking forward to seeing this taz, need any help i'll come down give you a hand for beer & food

Fab work isnt as much as i thought it would be btw ^
For what it is, could have baught an Escort cossie, however this is somewhat 'different'

awesome =]

wicked!! really want to see this finished, i always keep an eye on this thread,

whats still left to do?

Certainly caught my attention, what with myself being a cossie boy at heart.

does seem to be a shame now your getting so close to completion - but soldier on mate.

any helping hand you need then gladly ask.

have you sorted out the engine electrics, i know a guy who makes pectel looms for the cossies, and hes very reasonable aswell, ive had a couple of his looms now and his work is tip top.

is the compression on your engine really at 8.1:0?
and is the T38 defineatly a Turbo Dynamics, i thought there was only a Turbo Technics and a Universal Turbo's variant of the T38!?
and if supplied by A1 then id guess at it being a UT T38 supplied directly from Vince.

will be an awesome spec tho, Steve Scott built my old engine, on a UT T38 on greys, airs and a comp of 7.6:1, was making 36psi of boost at 3300rpm and held 32psi.

good luck with it all, and should be good to see when its completed.

Yep using standard c/r so 8:1 i believe. Not sure if it is a turbodynamics, but its running siemen blacks. The L8 has been chipped by Steve and its still got the original loom. I guess ill use the existing one for now to get it up and running and if i wanna change to a standalone ill go for a new loom then.

It was ellicos's old engine in his white 3-door. think he said it was 400bhp and 420lbft or about that!

Should be quite pokey in a car that weighs less than 900kgs!

List of things to do:

1) Fit copper brake lines, flexis and bleed brakes
2) Fit fuel lines, pump and filter - gravity fed pump at the mo, might go for a seperate swirl pot though.
3) Fit header tank, oil seperator, dizzy cap, leads
4) Wiring up dash, engine, all electrics like my twin 12s and 3 amps
5) Interior needs to be fitted
6) Bonnet needs painting and making brakets for locks
7) Make new rear bumper
Fit rear coilovers
9) Take it for a shakedown on the rollers then to cadwell

Not too much then, crack on Taz gonna me one hell of a machine!

only just seen the latest pics,looks good ,going be such and animal when done!!!

This does look pretty immense I must say! Love how fat boy it looks!

Absolutley awesome

Awesome

It looks so much better now its got some paint on! The list isn't as bad as I thought it was either. You should be up and running in no time!

that looks simply amazing

target time of get it done for ten of the best? would be good to see that turn up. im sure theyd let you park inside just to show it off lol

This is one of the cars I say, I would love to own. Well done mate and keep posting, even if it's for something little.

got it back about 8pm on friday night and re-united it with the garage after a 2 year absence!

As you can see not much progress since the last time but the brakes are plumbed in and bleed and also the fuel lines have been fitted also.
(Jessop=no aeroquip yet cos i aint got the cash! lol)

looks good, what next for the beast then?

everytime i see this it makes me chuckle

looks good mate, keep it going

Ill see the original GT bumper will fit with a bit of persuasion, the rear bumper ill make out of sheet similar to the 6r4 i reckon.

Im hoping to have it all wired up and running before december then ready for the track days next season!

as u can see they didnt really do a lot with it!

Engine aint been run yet either, need to fit wiring loom and refit all the interior yet too , harnesses, fire extinguisher, 6x9s and 12" sub

looks the dogs bollox!!

I can't help but think it's gona twist. Think I'l keep my mouth shut though. I love it. Can't think of anything els to say.

cool taz,

Taz. superb mate keep at it. that gona be one scary fucker to drive

cheers guys, got quite a lot to do on it, but at least it will be all my own work

ill need some lessons from you tam once its ready!

fuck I'm the wrong guy for that mate. I'm not a lover of RWD

doh!

Ive never driven on track before so I may as well start at the deep end and learn very quickly! at least my non-experiance means i dont have any bad habits on track to start with! (I pray i dont stack it on the first outing! :P)

aye just need to be carefull mate I'm sure you'l manage?? just remember that boost will come in with a thump
