- YouTube

We’ve gone full circle ! - it sounds like a VHPD ! :smiley:

It does doesn’t it :smiley:

Nothing wrong with that! :smiley:

so much like it has throttle bodies, love that noise

Finally got sometime yesterday and today to restart work on the car.

First off fit washer bottle and inertia switch…

Next tidy up external switches

Add more engine bay bling

Clean all and any sticky stuff of sills (took ages) left over from seals.

Cable tie and magnet pylons and brackets to rear subframe, measure up…

Done…

Fit clam and front aero catches, lose nut into sill, MDF patternes to mark underside of clam.

Cut, refit and finish for the night…

Also, front clam, quarter panels and roof went for painting today :clap:

Nice job Mr Fox

Looking good, Jonny. Well done.

very cool, loving the wing

:sunglasses: Nice - looking forward to seeing having it back and coming out to play again.

Did he use a dremmel without the aid of a safety net? Are there stickers required? :wink:

Me too Ben, seeing you booking up after those new born busy years is proper doing me head in, Dave and Ian too.

And Ade I’d called St John’s Ambulance, they were standing by lol.

Yup, no babies in the house, missus not pregnant (I fookin’ hope not anyway :blush: ), house refurb almost finished,…its time to enjoy the fine machine I have on my drive :sunglasses: Just work and kids keep getting in the way…

I just checked when you started this thread Jonny and it was ‘20 Dec 2011’ :open_mouth: pull yer finger out and get the Carbonator back on track dude!

Oh and while we’re on protracted builds,…where exactly is Bicknell’s Exige Wide-Boy Edition :unamused:

Its getting there.

Final wheels arrived a few weeks ago
Tyres are ordered.
Final bodywork fitting will be done next weekend.
John has promised me my engine will be built by the end of May
Brakes and clutch need piping up
Air jacks need final fitting and piping up
My mate is ready with his spray gun as soon as the bodywork fitting is finished
The interior has been trial fitted and is all good, just need to add a few switches

There will be loads of little bits to do, but all of the big stuff is in hand.

I am genuinely missing my car now, so have my mojo back for getting it finished.

That’s great news Sean :sunglasses:

Airjacks…you tart :unamused:

Excellent, likewise with the mojo…I can see the light after this week :thumbup:

Great news, the pair of you. I look forward to taking a few snaps of your motors to add to my already extensive motoring archive. (Or, as Mrs Thommo refers to it “Not more car pictures”)

Light in the tunnel here too …Ohlins sent for refurbishment today
:slight_smile:

All good then fellas, nice one Steve :wink:
