Coming to PERVE on me

[Max M4X WW]

[Turboboy67]

Bit of an update,

Engine is still away getting sorted

I've really just been stripping things down and cleaning and prepping the bay and under front wheel arches.

Car currently looks like this








I've removed most of the seam sealer from within the bay as it was a bit rough and I know I can apply it better

Fingers crossed next weekend the car is going down for its new strut tops to be welded in ready for the eccentric top mounts.

I have cut the strut tops out today but forgot to take any pictures.

Once they have been welded in then I can get some fresh paint sorted

[rsonblackwheels]

[Max M4X WW]

Depends how I get on with it fella,

If its finshed, I will of course, but I'm really aiming for RS Combe in early July.

Will shall see

[Hilton HS2]

Looks well nice.

I have a set of 17" OZ super leggera's. Lacking tyres tho so havent tried them on to see if they are safe or not, need a bit of refurb too. Probably fit fine tho after the slight modification for the escos wheels.

Rolling on some tsw's just now

[FRSJON]

Cheers buddy

Its all come to a bit of a halt atm, as I'm waiting for my top mounts to come through.

They will hopefully be here on Thursday, then they need to be machined down to fit which again hopefully will be on Friday.

So the trip to Ferndown to get the upper turret pieces welded in will now not be until the following weekend, then I can finally think about getting some paint on it, delays, delays

I might start taking the bodykit off tomorrow, gulp

good progress shaun,will be immense when its finished

[Turboboy67]

.......my front bumper today

As most of you know its a weighty thing, mine isn't now

From this



to this



Then I had the problem of fixing it back to the front panel

I so cut down the original brace

from this



to these



then bolted them back on the car



Then a nut will be welded on the bracket and bolted through from the front, bumper can be removed in under a minute now

This was a test today to see what could be done, now Luke and I are probably getting some alloy brackets made up as they are lighter than the original ones

Another 5kg at least chopped off of the weight of the car

And one more picture of the cut strut top,



Adj. top mounts arrived this morning, they are being machined down to fit tomorrow.

How did you remove all the crap from the bumper? I've always wondered how well 'stuck' it is.

Its very well stuck, but it comes off fairly easy with a bit of prizing,

I used a paint scraper and a screwdriver, only took around 10mins to remove

[luca]

Did you posistion the holes on the bumper

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

stick me down for a pair of them mounts shaun.

I've got rid of that metal bracing from mine too but didnt cut too much out due to mounting the bloody thing.
