Another 850

Couldn't wait any longer, even though I'm not actually picking it up until next week.
Needs putting together still, so going to be a proper project
Things on the shopping list still are;

Seats
Steering wheel
Bigger brakes
Water injection
Relocate battery to the boot
Polycarb windows
Source some better drive shafts

[cherry1809]

Oh, and a set of Volans in the not too distant future.
I have some poncy wheels lined up for general but the Volans will be daily's

[p fandango]

if you really want to make a weight difference then bin the factory seats

[rikcougar]

Interesting, I presume there will be pics of progress

[cherry1809]

Seats are looong gone bud... Along with everything else... That's pretty much why seats are on the list, hasn't got any at the minute. Lol.
Afaik it's down to 1100kg at present, and I'm looking at the glass next.

Did you get the engine and turbo

Blocks been binned as it had a mount snapped off.
Still have the rods, pistons, head, turbo, injectors, paddle clutch, gripper/gearbox, 3" exhaust, intercooler etc.

[smithy]

Nice don't want to sell the clutch do you lol

[Jamest5r]

Or the diff

[cherry1809]

Lol, nah hopefully I'll need them

[cherry1809]

Well, all booked up
Car being picked up and delivered Sunday, and I'm off to Neath Saturday to get the other goodies.

[p fandango]

are you going to weight the car yourself before you start any more work

[cherry1809]

Planned to
It has a standard T5 engine and box fitted, so I'll get it running and on the road as is for the minute.
We have a weighbridge at work so I'll get it up here to check weigh then see what else it can lose
It'll give me more time to do the engine right, plus it should still go well even if it just has an mbc for now.

[cherry1809]

Hahaha, this is going to be interesting... I won't bother getting it running a standard lump, not enough left.
Looks epic from inside out... I'll leave it there for a minute.

Only one quick pic I grabbed this morning (under a sheet at the minute) to show what's needed... add all brake lines to the list of wants as the abs has been ditched, and what's left has been left for dead...
I think the best thing would be to pull out the whole lot, see what I need and if this engine is good enough to go back in with the good bits.

[cherry1809]

Oh, and it already has flexi side windows with a slidey driver side that leaks, hahaha.
No ignition, no heater (I think) no side repeaters, no washer jets, gears not rigged up, hand brake not rigged up. List goes on.

But the roll cage is EPIC!

Plan is to get it near to this
