Thanks guys and Happy New Year to one and all.
Verily 2012 is very young yet, but it might see this project complete.

Brand new Girling specification 4 cylinder brakes.

The old set will go out for refurbishing and used as spares. I also have a NOS set of FIA twin cylinder brakes so it's decision time as to which ones to fit first.

I think the only choice you have now is to build a second mono to use all these fabulous parts!

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

What color are you all going to paint the monos when you are done fitting everything to them? 103 was painted blue- later on, they switched to black, I think. If I were doing it over again, I'd use blue, although I like the charcoal gray I've got.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Jim,
I also like the early Norfolk Blue but these chassis' will both be finished in black.

Best,

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

What I should have used.. the color I chose didn't flow out the way I thought it would. It doesn't look bad, it just doesn't look like I thought it would. But I am not taking it apart to paint it again. No way.

James

Are you going to be ready for the Le Mans classic this year? Or is it just a bit too soon?

Cheers
Ian

Ian,
2011 was our bad year so the LMC is out at this time.
However I have some plans to go without a car.

VEry neat install,, Jimmy. Glad things are progressing again. We are down to carpet and insulation, with the finish line in sight, with any luck, soon now.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Ali and Scott are doing a great job getting my bits on now.
I couldn't have done it without these guys recently.

Jimbo,
We got you a column bracket and an original chrome flasher switch today.
Expect a PM regarding your shipping address etc.
Warm regards,

 

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Attention to detail and patience Jimmy , second to none.
posts started 4 years ago but when did you first start the build, from the very start that is ?

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Keith,
Six years, moreover I missed too many fly-fishing trips.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

God bless you, Jim- you're the best. And we've just about got the interior done as well. Thanks so much.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

More good work today.
Ali's cooling system goes in on a trial fit.

James, is that your painted bodywork there in the background? Just curious.
