Cheers dude I wish I had a garage so much as its pretty cold and windy in the gazebo! haha. Will crack on on Friday and hopefully get some more bits done. I just wanna hurry up and get the boring restoration stylee jobs done then start on some cool fabrication what colour are people feeling for the interior?? Its between white or light metalic grey at the moment.. Opinions?
Haha, I know the feeling, my friend's keeping ahold of the manta but been having a string of bad luck with the BMW. Did get something recently though that some people doubted then having seen it, are jealous Keep up the good work!
bit more done today... got bored of the repair jobs so got on with some of the more interesting bits.. Got the drivers side seat rails in and drivers side cage mount in.. {} {} Seat rails in {} Then I started on the cage feet. I had ordered some from custom cages but they were rubish small flat plates.. Thought best thing was to start again so knocked this up.... {} {} {} {} {}
Only a little bit today as the weather was gash... Started on the passenger side of the tunnel with extra bit for exhaust.. {} {} The big hole {} {} Will hopefully get the passenger side all sorted by next weekend Cheers
how'd i miss this very nice man are those bike carbs or TB's on the pinto ? what you doing with them (pm'd you) good luck with the project
Am i right in saying that the motorsport shells, such as the Mex and RS's had double floorskins? Just a thought, i might be wrong but they mightve been there for a reason. Did they look theyd been put on to hide stuff? The 4age is a fitting engine. Rumour has it the original 16v was based on the BDA itself. Supposedly an exact copy dont to valve sizes and geometry. Whether its true or not im not sure, cool though.
Shane, they were GSXR750 carbs I think? I know he sold the lot though. And although a lot of people say the 4AGE is based on the BDA... it's not that true really. Yes to a point, but only as far as it's a 4cylinder 16v haha.
bit more today and last night, trying to get the tunnel all sorted than get the cage done next weekend.. {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} Bit of primer to stop it all rusting away for the moment.. It all seems to be coming together though
Whats the reason for only stitching the tunnel and not doing a 'solid line' weld ? IS it so it allows some flex in it ?
