Right things are coming along nicely, the chassis has been polished up and all welding slag removed, front suspension is taking shape!
We stripped a seirra of everything engine box, diff, wheels, hubs, brakes, interior in 4 hours yesterday

over the last week the honda s2000 engine and box has been put in, and were going to build the working rolling chassis, wheels, brakes, diff etc then it will go to dax for the exhaust, then she can be panlelled up.
Taken apart then powercoated everything that can be done, and then panelled up the last time and re fit everything!

We do this so we weld on all brackets etc we need before its painted otherwise would have to ground the paint off!

heres some pics
our bible - even though ours is the first ever car engine in a round tube chassis so most things are different


the chassis with engine in


as you can see we have a fia approoved roll bar, which strengthens the chassis and protects us,


anti camber front suspension lay out


one off front hubs - weight removed


one off engine mounts


dad - thinking of what will be in 3 months time


gaz coilovers


anti camber front suspension detailing

300 bhp at 10k rpm will sound rather nice through some throttle bodies
