    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    The final build up before a serious riveting session at the end of the week. I have attached dynamat on the back side of all aluminium to take the tinny sound out of it. It also helps with road noise and to reduce heat transfer. On the firewall I have double skinned this with a G1 embossed...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Thanks Andy, appreciate your words. Looking forward to getting that window in position and getting her sat right. Struggling to line the spider up evenly against the ally scuttle/rear mounting pads and roll cage.

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Hi Guys Thought I’d share a few more updates from this week. Finally created a “spare wheel well” that I am happy with. Decided to put some “lightening holes” in the top section and make use of the space to mount my fluid chambers. With steering racks being £120 new I decided to replace this...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Hi Ian EStopp works on separate calipers to your primary ones. I have Lamborghini huracan parking brake calipers. I also live in Guernsey so luckily no MOT here

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Back to business. I have been working on the front “spare wheel” section in the front of the car. Trying to replicate what the original car had without making it look like an after thought is an absolute pain in the arse. Especially with the steering column on the MDA/GTR chassis being so...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    No need to apologise. Stunning. Always wanted a 916 as a kid. Had a Panigale 1199S before the V4R and I was hooked. Stunning bike. I may have to start a new thread.

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Awesome, do you do many track days? I want to track the V4R but I’m not even going to pretend I’m as good in a car as I am in this..

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Cheers Andy. See I’m very into bikes, however certainly not off the shelf unless special. I have a Ducati V4R which is basically a short stroke Moto GP bike for the street. Also built a fully race tuned Sportster that has the same wheels as the Nightrod, plus a BMW R100 that I dragged out of a...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    The GTC is probably the best car I have ever driven. Ive owned a few 911 GT3's and obviously driven many full spec GT3 cars including the Lamborghini Huracan GT3, Porsche GT3R, Mercedes SLS GT3 and AMG GT3 plus a few others and Mercedes really have done it right. Their road "supercars" and...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Thanks Eddy. It’s all new to me. I’ve never restored or rebuilt a car. Although I have built many bikes in the past (currently building a stage 3 supercharged Nightrod with one off spoked runs and air bag) I have never done anything more than a few mods on brand new cars. Just finished one of my...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    The spider was not in the best condition. There were a few stress cracks and once again many unnecessary holes scattered over it. Either the entire car had worms or the previous owner was trigger happy! After a grind down, I removed the section of flat where the filler caps were located and...

    MDA GT40 Rebuild.

    Some slow progress! I am after a set of 15” wheels for my GT. Happy to either buy or swap for my 17” I am not fussed about tires as I have my heart set of a certain brand/style. Anyone out there with any options?
