Does anyone know where I can buy a motec for my 302? Decided to come away from the Accel as it just seems there’s so much to do very little. Has a separate box the size of the ECU for spark and another for O2. Just seems excessive.

we are pretty lucky in Guernsey. The roads are flat and speed bumps are very limited. Its easy to avoid them. At the moment its a good 6.5 inch chassis to ground.

Progress seems to come in waves. For weeks I felt I was getting no where. Now it’s flying together. Really happy with how it’s looking. I feel even with the front shocks wound down all the way it’s not sitting as low as I would have liked. Maybe I’ll have to change the coilover set up. Any...

I said I wanted to have the wheels on by Sunday and I made it happen.. just. 11:45 I sat the car on the floor and walked out the workshop. Chuffed.

Made some decent progress today. Engine and gearbox back in along with rear subframe. Front suspension arms back from powder coater and ball joints back in. Hopefully is all goes to plan I can get the front corners built up tomorrow and get it back on it’s wheels.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get some of the rear clam pins like on the original cars. Basically just a rod that protrudes the body.

Does that help? Unsure how to convert from that.

Hi Guys I know the stakes are probably low, however I wanted to asked before I place an order (because I’m inpatient and hate waiting). Im after a set of 15” wheels to accommodate Gulf Arches. TIA

Thanks Mike. Some good ideas there. The reason for a steel spider was to create as much of a realistic feeling as possible. If I was doing this again id have gone with a monocoque without a doubt however this is where I am at for now. I have found a guy in Sweden called Goran who said he will...

Thanks Ian

Good Friday update. Powder coated black rear suspension arms and rods fitted. Rear uprights, disks and calipers. Rear subframe fitted and engine mounts. Rear arches are complete and I’m ready to take the grinder to the rear clam. Hope everyone is fit and well.

Thanks!

A bit more progress today.

Thanks Mike, appreciate it.

Hi Guys hope everyone is keeping well. Not sure if this is a topic that’s been covered before or not however, does anyone know a company or of any steel or aluminium spiders available for sale? This is something I really want to add to my build however the thought of a scratch build is pretty...

Thanks Jasper, I’m starting from scratch. I will use the way dieting Accel management system and will work off that. I have a load of aircraft fittings and connectors ordered, going to use breakers instead of fuses. I know what I’m after I just don’t know what to do

Slowly slowly catch the monkey as my grandpa use to say. Seems irrelevant to be posting pictures of cars as the moment. I’ve been to the workshop once in the past 2 weeks and that was only for about a hour or so. Managed to sink a few rivets in that time and distract the mind. Hope everyone is...

I hope everyone is staying safe in this crazy time we are facing. We are in this together and will all pull through it stronger than we were before. Just a quick update to keep some normality. Estopp brake arrived and I’ve laid some rivets in the front of the tub. 800 to be exact. Cheers

Hi Ian Thanks for the advice. I have run some of the dynamat foam down the tunnel. Its doubled skinned so luckily I managed to double it up. Fingers crossed it stays pretty cool in the cockpit.
