If you could post pictures of other molds too that would be great. I'm more interested in how to get there than the end result lol.

Time is here for picking up the Motor again now. Going to RotaryPerformance on saturday to pick up the engine block, then the engine building is ready to start.
Looking forward to get my parts back home.

Also picking up three other rotorhousings that I'm gonna put on a engine that I have sold to a guy here in Norway. The one I have been using.


Other ways, things are not going very fast theese days since I've just moved in to a new house. Got a lot to do here as well befor I can start on the car again.
But its gonna be ready to drive with again when the snow goes away.

I'm bringing up the dead here, but I noticed you mentioned NDT to check the iron for cracks. Is that what you do for a living? I do the same here in the states. Mostly just RT for me, but who wants to stay in that forever :p Learning MT, PT next then UT methinks

Sick ride too, I cant imagine myself ever being able to fabricate like that

I'm not sure what car they come from.
Bought them in a kit from Sellholm.

They are made for racing.

Probably, they are great these wheelhubs. And they are not cheap as an original-part either!

Keep it up!

It has been a while since last time I updated this thread.. The car is still existing. But got parked for a year or two beacause i bought a house..
And with the house I'm planning a garage build that I'll soon will start.. 96 square meters first floor, pluss 70 square meters second floor..

This is the reason why the car has been of the track for a while.. But it might be back in buisness again when you least expects it..

Just spent almost 3 hours reading this, and I must say, you sir do excellent work, the attention to detail on this car is astounding! You have really encouraged me to start practicing with carbon fiber.

Keep up the great work

Sweet Garage dude. You building it or do you have a contractor in to do it?

Cos if you did build it, you are a gifted handyman.
