We have a new project car in, so I thought I would keep a build thread for it on here.

This is the car in the current state






She has had a hard life

 

First job, having sourced a new door was to fix the wheels. Stripping them took a little longer than expected and involved snapping a large number of Torque bits!

At 30 nuts and bolts a wheel all of which were thread locked into place, it was a mission to strip them down.

They are however coming up a treat

Wheels

 

I'm subscribing because I want to see how this one turns out. A lot of work, but the potential is definitely there. I like the wheel lip repairs. You have a TIG?

 

Thanks for the interest.

Yes we have a TIG, we will be making all of the intercoolers and radiators in house too. Likewise we will be manufacturing the bumper in house as we are able to design, mould and layup grp/carbon products as well.

 

I hope you're not restoring that bumper. Other than that, this seems like a promising build.
