Nothing like being "In your face" is there?..lol.

Will this yellow be to bright ?

Loving the boxy arches!

Not sure about the bright yellow though, did Delboy have some left over? lol

[AcidicDavey]

Holy ££££ that's bright, I think you've burnt my retinas!

The camera dulls the colour somewhat.

Congratulations Colin, you'll have to finish it a bit earlier this year now

[Tomcat]

Well deserved Colin!, cant wait to see it finished.

Rear arch nearly finished

Roof scoop Mk2

[claymore]

Scoop Mk3 (and final design), Adjusted the angle of the intercooler which means I can lower the scoop by about 30mm, also fitted the oil cooler, next week I will make a fiberglass scoop, using this one as a mold, I will have a partition on 1 side to direct air straight into the enclosed air filter, this weekend I'll be fitting the duct which will direct the air out of the rear hatch.

Gotta love that oil cooler.

Looks like the intercooler's nosy kid trying to see what all the fuss is about!

[jamesy12345]

I saw this in the flesh a couple of days ago....what a project it will be a monster....even ignoring the total hp the increase in traction will make all the difference. I hope I'm in the UK to see the first hillclimb run!

This is some sort of crazy Volvo Frankenstein, can't wait to see it in action...

I know I'm not cutout to do things like this myself, I'd get caught up on a detail e.g. where does the water go when it runs in the roof scoop

Glad there are some mad inventors out there to try these things!

[claymore]

I hope this clears up any confusion as to how the roof scoop will work.

[kmb]

Excellent - Will you do away with the rear glass or use a cut down smaller screen size?

[claymore]

The side and rear glas will be replaced with lexan, the rear hatch piece will be open for the top 6 inches.

[Doingitsideways]

This gets more and more bonkers every time I look.

I love it!

Not wishing to be a naysayer, or putting a downer on your project Col, but are you not worried about the route of the air causing rear end lift at high speed?

Read post 814 , also, there is a bigger rear spoiler to go on yet

Yes, saw that, but the fact you're ducting air downwards through the intercooler, to my mind would give lift, of course, I could be wrong, it has been known.
