Current engine mounts were kind of temporary, never welded them complete, because turbo and supercharger locations were only approximate. I wanted a lower design to clear the turbo intake pipe.
The design, steel sleeve with delrin bushing:
This was something I could machine by myself
Obviously I had to mockup alternator location before making intake/charge air piping, but the old one had seen it's best days. Instead of refurbishing and machining new pulleys for the old one I bought a new, smaller, modern alternator:
This spring and summer will probably be busy time with the project, more parts is already on the way
Some new bits acquired, Toyota MR2 electric power steering pump. Remain to be seen if it's even working, connectors had damaged badly during shipping...
Today's job was to make another front fender, it was easy one, I used the same cardboard templates which I made for the driver's side:
This will be a frustrating and time-consuming job 1 out of 4 corners in progress, after spraying a paint layer I noticed one spot needed to be cut open and hammered down.
Finally got all the parts for the control arms, roll-center/bump steer -adapter fits perfectly
Also few lengths of aluminium tubing appeared this week, need to build up something of those
Earlier this week I bought few liters of paint, should be plenty for mock-ups and molds. I picked the same hue which might be the final color, we'll see...
At this point the fender starts to look like something, but still a lot to do. A couple of bigger dents showed up after the first gray paint layer.
But... this will probably do, picture taken this evening. I'm afraid something goes wrong when I start to mess up with fiberglass
I think I should take the camera more often with me, mobile pics look crap besides these..
Det kanske är i väldigt tidigt skede att ställa denna fråga men, vad har du tänkt för färg på den när du börjar bli klar? Hade varit kul att veta så man kan se bilen framför sig i huvudet!
Han skrev ju att den färgen han lackade med nu kan bli den färgen han kommer använda så om du tittar på bilden han la upp så ser du ju vad det är för färg.
Precis så Victor Och stort tack för alla! Jag kommer bygga alla skärmar, dörrar, tacklucka, huven osv. i glasfiber så bara inre karosseri och tak är i plåt. Hoppas det väger några kilo mindre.
