my mk1 Track Car (03 - present) - (now road legal!!)

Love the switchboard/dash, looks pretty serious!

 

This airbox looks familiar!

 

Been busy on the car for a while, finally got the exhaust done and on..... Been having loads of teething problems with oil and water leaks but its finally settling down now , just the front end to go now, then the bits an bobs for the MOT....

manifold + engine torque brace

 

Great project!

I remember dicing with the car in its original white form round Mallory park when I had my 2L 8v All good fun!

Looks a very serious bit of kit now!!

 

ooooooooooooooooooo nice

 

The pics don't do the manifold justice.

 

good day that! remember it well

 

Just a few updates this time, been working on the front end, sanding grinding & mounting etc.

 

love it, looks nuts.

 

wow

I`m very impressed with the level of detail in these build threads. You`ve built a fantastic car there

 

Can't wait hearing from you when it will be at track. I really love the wheels and of course all the detail you have put on it

Welldone to the Coventry students

 

Cant wait till this is finished.

The front track looks wide from the last pic - is it wide track or just looks that way without wings on?

 

very cool - love it

 

ha ha the good old days..

Thanks guy's nice one

 

Thats cool, alot of work goes into a front end like that believe me!!

I wonder how thats fitted on?? I've attached mine in 6 places as i'm expecting it to take a bit of aero load...

 

I've got some spacers on the front otherwise the geometry is stock.

I think the new rear disc set-up is slightly narrower than the old drum setup too

not long now......

 

one place is the large catch on the side of the inner wing:


I might be wrong but it looks to have two pins facing forward (one to left of battery area in pic) that maybe attach behind the bumper?

You can see the pin easier in this pic:

 

any updates?

Hmmm - how much does a pipe bender cost then?
