    Gardner Douglas GD T70 Number 26 - Paul's Build Log

    Chirs, I would have loved to. It would have been good to get eyes on a completed car for the first time in a while. However, I'm racing at Oulton that day.......

    Well I am sad to say that progress with Number 26 has been non existant. Time has just been against me. Sadly, when you work for the Queen you don't get to set your own timetable. However, I hope to get back to her soon!

    It'll be worth it in the end. :)

    Right now, not much. I am very frustrated as, bar the underside panels, EVERY one I have looked at since fails to fit the chassis. Some by a LONG way. I think Andy's laser cutting has left a little bit to be desired. One of the reasons I went for the GD is that Andy told me that the new...

    That's a 930 waiting to go in. Eventually..... On the road you will feel little from anti-roll bars. They are all about load sharing between tyres in different phases of the turn. That said I'll be fitting them on mine as it will see occasional track use, but they will be set to their...

    How much oil to run in an inverted Porsche 930?

    I plan on pinching your shifter design for use with the 930 in the back of my GDT70, so I'll be very interested to see what you find. Fingers crossed.... :)

    Ok, some progress to report. The front subframe is now fitted with ally and fitted to the car. Thomas, hopefully the photos will answer your questions. There is a very small gap (about 1mm) between the main floor pan and the rear edge of the subframe bottom panel. Next job is the interior...

    Sadly, I don't think GPS speedos are road legal here in the UK. :sad:

    Thomas, I have had a look at the bits that Andy gave me and I now have: A lower panel with a 90 degree bend at the front and no bend at the rear so it runs in line with the main floor of the car and has a minimal gap. An upper panel that bends down at the rear to allow access to the...

    930 shift linkage ratio/leverage question

    Hi Terry, How'd the linkage work out, in the end? Still wondering exactly how to do the linkage on my T70 with the 930 box. Cheers. Paul

    Thomas, Next time I have a look at the car I’ll take some photos so you can see what I have. I can’t remember off the top of my head. However, Andy did point out that there is a need to get to the sub frame bolts from either the top or the bottom. Clearly, he is correct, but I would rather...

    Hi Thomas, I had problems with the fit of the subframe to the chassis which was the major issue. It needed some gentle persuasion. Now ok. I also had problems with both the upper and lower subframe ally panels. The bottom one had a fold where it shouldn’t have had one and the top one...
