A VERY long day today, didn't finish till midnight.

The alternator brackets made, welded and painted ant the alternator in place.





Fuse box all finished





Font lights all wired up




Dash and function panel all wired in and tested.

 

Would you have a rough estimation of what a street legal version of a car this caliber would cost? Just incase I ever win the lottery

 

This is VERY extreme Ryan, but It would prob set you back £60 - £70 grand (I'll let you work the conversion out).

A lot of that is down to the man hours unless you do a lot yourself.

 

Thanks for all the comments guys, this week is a mad rush so expect lots of pics, she won't be ready to run but
she needs to LOOK the part for the McLaren show on Saturday.


Just visited the body shop to drop the LED number plate lamp and pop up covers and to see how they're getting
on with the rear bumper.... OMG... CWest mash-up with Sanai !!!..... In the words of Phil, this bumper is gunna look FDUKing epic !!


Just a taster as still being built and fibreglassed.








And this is the insert down the centre of the diffuser for the fog lamp. :thumbsup:

 

A few things done today.

Battery plinth and brackets for strap sorted





And now attached to the tunnel assembly





Side repeaters are now sorted.





Seats are in.

 

Just one pic tonight.... doors are on !!

 

great car

 

A few small bits done tonight !!


A little delivery with Dave Fuller from BG Developments.






The rears fitted to the car








Interior almost finished




Most of the panels are now on the car :-

 

And with the bonnet. :thumbsup:

 

Make sure and add some aluminum plates on each side of your IC/radiator setup for maximum sealing and increased airflow through that assembly. Definitely one of the baddest *** FD builds ever!!!

 

*giggles like school girl*

Those brakes are beautiful.

 

Most of the panels are now on the car :-



What are those posts for under your rocker panels? Some kind of air lifting system for the car when you're at the track??? I hope one of the leading UK car mags in planning a feature on this bad boy once you've completed your build!!

 

Amazing car and great work/progress. Can't wait to see her running!

 

What series AP brakes are you using? I have the older CP5200 laying around but looking for bolt on brackets (fronts)

 

I'll be having talks with either Banzai or Jap Performance Mag soon, so hopefull a good right up and front cover should be soon.

The posts under the car were originally for a flat floor to be bolted to, these have now been removed

Thanks fella, won't be too long now

I'm starting to realise the importance of this car, it seriously wasn't the intention when
first starting out down the all or nothing route but it's starting to dawn on me.

Right tonights work gave me massive highs.... and big lows.

We completed the bodywork and I love absolutely everything (the Highs)............ except for the rear bumper...
it really sucks and doesn't look right at all (the lows).

These are the good sides.

 

If you're not liking the rear bumper, how about a "shot" of the back to let us give you some constructive feedback?

 

Scared to !! lol

 

Again, thanks for all the comments, I put the number plate on and it breaks the back up a little but still hate it.

Anyway, Gary was happily snapping away so here are a few of K-II at the McLaren show as some have asked to
see him in natural light.


And before anyone comments... the panels do fit better but I only fitted the front bumper with two 10mm bolts. lol

Thanks for the info,but the bell housings (5x114.3 adapter to the brakes disc for front and rear is what I'm after. I understand the rears are Ap and fronts are custom made?

Can you give some more info on the CB handbrake caliper+bracket?

thx

 

These are the brackets... what info did you need ?

 

OK, so IMO, it's really not that bad. Just a WHOLE lot of GREEN. Try photo shopping some images for possibilities before you start. Maybe paint the area lower than your license plate flat black, just to break up all the green. If you're going to change it out, I'd go back to a"stock rear bumper and one of the more popular aftermarket diffusers, then modify the diffuser to make it more aggressive. Aesthetically, if you look at the car from a side view, the front bumper and rear diffuser should be at approximately the same height. Right now the rear diffuser is quite a bit lower, which is visually a little confusing. Again, JMO. Overall, beautiful end result!

**** Yea.

Just chop the *** out for some angry carbon bits. Time attack styles IMO.

 

Righty, yesterday and tonight we've been putting more bits back on the car and tidying areas up.
