BT's latest phase

[p fandango]

Oh god i dreaded opening this thread up after seeing the title mate lol but at least you havent had the angle grinder out yet

i have now tho


spot the difference


when doing the front doors i actually looked where the spot welds where, so i didn't mess up & cut a section out that attached to the internal skin like i did on the rear doors


cutting the doors removed 3.4kg, Perspex for the windows has also been ordered now (also removed the carbon canistor which weigh'd 1.3kg)

Those mirrors and door rubbers weigh a bit Pedro, when will she be ready for the 1/4 mile?

i have got some replacement mirrors but don't want to change the exterior that much. As for when will she be ready tbh i've no idea, i've still got alot of wiring & a few things to remove yet

[PaulZX]

She'd better be ready for the start of august mate, or it might look to some like you're dodging a certain race....

[siamblue]

So 1300kgs is achievable then lol, it should be great seeing how she performs,

i should bloody hope it weighs less than that lol. I can't wait to get her back on the road/strip, even the 5hitroen is starting to feel "nippy" so be good to feel the power of proper turbo again

[PaulZX]

you can have a play in mine when she's been rolling roaded if you wanna quick reminder....

[PaulZX]

[PaulZX]

you could always send them a cheque or postal order lol

got to find you the stuff & actually read it make sure its right lol, i only saw the title & assumes he'd got several cars he was stripping. Think its the 3litre V6 you want

[p fandango]

while i had the front bumper off to remove the carbon canistor i thought i'd strip it & see what it was made up of, the polystyrene & spacer plate accidently got left off when i put it back together lol (3.4kg removed, total of 183.2kg now)




& still sticking to my aim of looking normal(ish) from the outside

nice build up thread!!! stripping cars and seeing what can come out of them are so much fun!!
