First off job was to build the gearbox. Only 4 gears:
Next - chassis build
Gearbox mated to the chassis rails.
Close up of the gearbox. Oil retention is going to be an issue. Maybe it's a dry sump set up.
Next up I worked on the rear differential and rear suspension module. It was easier to do this off the car and offer up afterwards.
Different view - now with track rods attached
Rear diff and suspension module errr...bolted on
Other angle. Suspension not yet connected to the top mounts
Suspension now mounted and back wheels on - now dropped off the axle stands
Active aerodynamics (motorised rear spoiler) setup. Sorry about the poor picture. It was getting dark
Racing bucket seats added. Minimal padding, but more comfortable than they look
Front suspension module and steering rack next. Note that there are double wishbones all round.
Attached to chassis rails. Nearly got a full rolling chassis now.
Next job - the powerplant. V8. Went together well. Haven't compresion checked it yet though - fingers crossed.
Underside showing the crank and con rods.
V8 installed.
Full rolling chassis completed
Front bumper assembly errr....assembled
Dashboard and steering wheel installed.
Right side dihedral door installed
Door in open position
All the other panels bolted on
Headlights wired up
Rear light clusters installed and wired up. Better shot of the active aero
Bonnet up.
Hope you enjoyed the build
