hodge Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Passenger side is now in primer and drying as I type this. Tomorrow the plan is to flat it all back in the morning. Then tomorrow night, refit the door, fit the catch tank and measure up for the lines from the bulkhead fittings to the tank. Refit rear bumper and do some more engine bay tidy up. Got a feeling it's going to be a long night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it fires first time without a hitch bud Cheers Matt, not as much as me mate that's for sure. I've total confidence in Ryans base map, I'm sure he will talk me through the start up process for the Syvecs. If it doesn't start it's going to me something really silly cos I've been mativulous with every part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Had another marathon yesterday. Started at 4pm and emerged from the garage at 2.30am. Got loads done. Flattened back all the rear arch and skirt. Got the door, inner arch, and wing refitted. Meshed the rear brake ducts. Fitted the final bolts into the rear arch. Tightened the crank pulley again. Final fitted the front bumper. The rear bumper isn't fastened down yet as I want to change the fuel line. When I installed it it was creased and I'm concerned that it's going to burst under load. Seems it's above the exhaust where it creased, if it does go I can imagine a very large bang. So even if just for piece of mind it's getting changed. Here's a few pics of what happened last night. Took it for an imagery ride too last night and this is what my boost gauge was reading :-) Pushed the car out the garage so I could give the garage a good clean out. Front bumper on and tucked away in the garage again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Loving the work, mate! Really inspiring stuff, even if what you're inspiring is going to add lots of time (not to mention money) to my Supra build Although, can I repay the favour and suggest welding all the unnecessary holes in the engine bay?
