Todays update: Final weekend push ( saturday)
Right the final weekend. The big push.
I had such a mixed week of shittyness and then gainin a sponsor, i decided to just 'go for it' and get it to a skidable state that matched Regs and just do what I can at round 1.
For this, I needed supplies:
Ok so spent the morning sorting the zigens for sale.
removed htem from the car and temporarily put the rays on the back:
OFFSET POLICE!!!
Drove to my tyre man and got him to 'carefully' remove the rims.. Then came back home, cleaned them up properly and packaged them up for smudge.
Time to crack on wiht my huge list.
Firstly I decided to attack one of the jobs I hate, mounting the external cables and all that jazz. I removed the skuttle panel thingy, mocked up the positions.. ish.. and then got irritatted with feking about and loosing time.. and just got them mounted in.
they are close, but they work, they arent covered by the wipers and you can pull each individually. Job done.
doesn't look like much but that was a time eater.. sorting the cables into the cabin and engine bay and crap..
so I had a pickme up:
Moved into sorting the interior.
Fitted my new gearstick after the chavs robbed my other one:
cheers doug.
Finished fitting the rollcage padding and also mounted the fire extingiusher:
USUALLY I mount it behind my seat, but the harness bolts are in the way on an FC, so it had to go in center. Personally I think it looks bad-ass. But I'm hoping it doesnt get in the way when I drive.
Next I went and fabbed up a center console plate thingy..
Bare in mind this is first time ive done something like this and all i had was a rivet gun, a drill and a grinder.. i managed to produce this:
Again this was a time eater.. gettin measurements by guess and pen marks etc..
I know its not amazing but I left loads of space for more switches that I plan on in the future, AND I had to cut a slot to allow clearance of the Hydro as its mounted so close.
but yeah overall Im happy.
Final jobs were sorintg the pull cables to the extingisher (you can se this in teh previous pic), sorting out other niggles around the cabin and finally mocking up the kill switch:
Tomorrow mornign Im going trye hunting with Ceffy and Lightning, then in the afternoon I need to fit catch can, wire up the cut off, fit the BDC gfx (afer cleanign car) and several refitting of trimming and all that shit.
stilll leaves loads to do during the week (knuckles if poss, rims, tyres, spacings, graphics and more) tho.
