Roligt att höra!

Exhaust manifold finally welded together, but still needs wastegate piping and coating:

Holy f*cking moley what a project! Ser riktigt bra ut! Följer med spänning!

Wastegate arrived quickly, also got few stickers:


Then I started to make wastegate piping, need to make a mild steel flange though, I don't like to mix it to stainless steel:

Story continues:


Divided all the way to valve, with sophisticated testing (by blowing air into primaries) the flow seems to find its path well towards the wastegate:

Recently I've machined and bought some new stuff.

Current engine mounts were kind of temporary, never welded them complete, because turbo and supercharger locations were only approximate.
I wanted a lower design to clear the turbo intake pipe.

The design, steel sleeve with delrin bushing:


This was something I could machine by myself


Obviously I had to mockup alternator location before making intake/charge air piping, but the old one had seen it's best days. Instead of refurbishing and machining new pulleys for the old one I bought a new, smaller, modern alternator:


This spring and summer will probably be busy time with the project, more parts is already on the way

Some new bits acquired, Toyota MR2 electric power steering pump. Remain to be seen if it's even working, connectors had damaged badly during shipping...


Today's job was to make another front fender, it was easy one, I used the same cardboard templates which I made for the driver's side:


Extra pic:

Det ser riktigt bra ut, kämpa på! Kommer du att tävla i Sverige nånting eller blir det bara i Finland?

Tackar! Mest i Finland, men jag vill också delta i någon Gatebil event om vi har tid..

This will be a frustrating and time-consuming job 1 out of 4 corners in progress, after spraying a paint layer I noticed one spot needed to be cut open and hammered down.




Finally got all the parts for the control arms, roll-center/bump steer -adapter fits perfectly


Also few lengths of aluminium tubing appeared this week, need to build up something of those

Awesome!

Thanks

Earlier this week I bought few liters of paint, should be plenty for mock-ups and molds. I picked the same hue which might be the final color, we'll see...

At this point the fender starts to look like something, but still a lot to do. A couple of bigger dents showed up after the first gray paint layer.


But... this will probably do, picture taken this evening. I'm afraid something goes wrong when I start to mess up with fiberglass


I think I should take the camera more often with me, mobile pics look crap besides these..

The color, I like Paintwork not so perfect but ok for molding

Så jäkla läckert!

Hur stor del av karossen kommer du bygga i glasfiber?

Det kanske är i väldigt tidigt skede att ställa denna fråga men, vad har du tänkt för färg på den när du börjar bli klar?
Hade varit kul att veta så man kan se bilen framför sig i huvudet!

Han skrev ju att den färgen han lackade med nu kan bli den färgen han kommer använda så om du tittar på bilden han la upp så ser du ju vad det är för färg.

Precis så Victor Och stort tack för alla!
Jag kommer bygga alla skärmar, dörrar, tacklucka, huven osv. i glasfiber så bara inre karosseri och tak är i plåt. Hoppas det väger några kilo mindre.

Fan så sjukt!
Detta måste man följa. 

Det är en jävligt snygg färg kan jag tillägga!
