Been working on lots of different areas as I wait for other parts to arrive
Photo of the front hub upright, before and after I did the modification to it. Ideally, I would have liked to do the mod on a mill, however, I didn't have one. So, I made do with a cutting disk on a 4" grinder, a set of hand files and an engineers square. Came up pretty well I think
Did the bending, cutting and welding of the VE clutch and brake pedals to fit. I really like the fact that Warwick continues to update the parts that go into the cars - the old style called for an XF pedal box and those are becoming both worn out and rare.
It also shows both the horrible mess on my garage floor, and my poor bike looking neglected. I should get on both of those really...
This is the latest one, taken today. My headlights, fuel cap and number plate light arrived today from snakebite, and so did the holesaw I ordered from ebay. I wasted no time putting them on
with that and the screen temporarily installed it's starting to look like a car now!
This is the style of holesaw I got for the headlights. $80 from Ebay. Worked REALLY well, highly reccomended! Used it for the fuel cap too, will use it for the gauges and indicator lights too. The drill bits that came with it are even sheetmetal bits, needed a set of them anyway.
The shocks and springs are supposed to arrive in the next day or two, and tomorrow I'll get the new tyres fitted to the rims. Planning on doing the modification to the hub to convert it to ford tomorrow of the day after. Still need to find a place that sells blank commodore rotors and brake fittings too. Then the car will be rolling! Having great progress right now, still really excited about it
