That's Blakes car in New Zealand, awesome bit of kit

This car is a great education, especially for James, welding lessons:


We have decided that because this is going to be a race car & may end up in a fence paying out big bucks to buy new floors was not the best idea. So we are cutting out all the rot & welding in fresh metal, the good news is that after quite a bit of hard work the underneath is not as bad as we first thought




The huge dent in the rear wing has now gone


We had to cut out some serious amounts of the floor


Only quality metal was used

tell jimbo hes holding it wrong and it needs to sound like sizzeling bacon nopt sausages bacon lol

He is getting better Steve, the last patches he did looked quite good, the car has had a serious amount of welding done to it. If it was any other car we would have scrapped it

I think you should have scrapped it and put thr running gear in a mini

Thanks Jesse, the boys have been flat out doing it, I think they want it off the ramp

fair play lads this is going to be a weapon

any pics of the porting??

ps u should make up a few spoilers

Progress has been a little slow at the moment on the build had lots of work on latley but managed to get a few hours in today most of the prep for paint is done on the car another hour of welding and that will all be done started bolting some panels on as one of the painters requests. All the bolts have been replaced with new ones.Bought two brand new front wings put a set of doors on we allready had as others were rusty but its coming along nicely and should be in for paint end of this week. Pics will be up tomorrow

All welding / prep work done, it has now gone off to be resprayed

real shame you couldnt keep the original paint work. Are you going to be reproducing the one piece flywheel?

The car was rotten Steve, if it was any other car we would have scrapped it, we are looking at making loads of different bits. Jimbo will post on here when we have final product / prices.

Regards

Jerry

what colour is it going to be?

Its going to be white with Suzuki sports livery, very similar to the Pikes Peak twin engine Cultus

bugger i was going to go in that livery

YES.

thought i seen on redline that u were doing it like the yellow rally swift.

Pikes peak cultus rep = Win

It is now painted

white is the best

Got the car back today so let the rebuild begin every part is going to be fully cleaned and repainted before refitting so this may take sometime but will be worth it hopefully some pics to come before the end of the weekend

how come you cut the inside of the doors out, weight reduction?

Yeah thought as we have the cage too it was worth doing theres a fair bit of weight in both doors and we are going for perspex too so was well worth doing

Jesse,

This is real rally/dart car.
We found this car in Japanese auction and it is ex-Monster car.
So Jerry is restoring it to former glory.
Then Jimbo is going to race it.... you lucky sod !

Cheers
