Latest Pictures

 

Since I last updated the site I have been very busy in work and not had much time to work on the car.

Over the last month I've managed to put a lot of hours into the build and here are a few pictures of the build progress.

As you can see from this picture the passenger side bodywork is now fitted and the exhaust manifold has been made.

 

This is a close up of the modified Calibra manifold. This is just a case of cutting, bending and welding using the trial and error method until you are happy with the position of the tube.

And again from the front.

The welds haven't been ground down yet as I haven't pressure tested them to check for holes. Once this has been done the headers will be wrapped in a Kevlar wrap to keep engine bay heat to a minimum.

 

The next challenge was mounting the alternator. I wanted to utilise the original mount incorporating the rubber bushes and after some more trial and error I had the perfect bracket.

 

After all the cutting and welding it was nice to do a bit of work on the loom. I made the battery clamps then made the battery leads using 4awg cable. I have fitted a battery master switch as an additional security device.
