Why don't you invest in a heater for your garage so you
can get some work done in the Winter - and stop buying all
these beautiful parts!

Sorry, no 240v... it is fully insulated though, so if we get enough folk in there no need for heater...
How many plonkers does it take to finish a sport chassis??

Martin, some would argue that you have enough hot air coming out of your head that you could heat a garage.........

Have you had any progress on those pistons you are getting copied?

ralleyquattro · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2015 6:45 pm

Yes, only option is billet. Which is a bit more $$ but not that bad.
With the strut purchase the pistons will have to wait a bit.

Wait... you didn't get the Mahle custom pistons on the GB Issam put together?

ralleyquattro · **Posted:** Sun Nov 22, 2015 1:43 pm

I did, those are 82.5 and will work for another engine. Mahle does not have a forging that can support the 79.5 bore that I need for the alloy block and I refuse to resleeve it, to scared to ruin it.

Good call!

Any progress with the warm weather?

Not much, in Poland currently on vacation.
Plan is to leave the kids here and have few weekend to gest things rolling again.

Last piece of the puzzle, at least from parts gathering...
I was unable to find a original so got the next best thing... a great copy, down to all the mounting tabs and hose locations, including by-pass valve and ISV.

Feast your eyes.
Not sure the family will appreciate this under the tree this year.

Love the collection of parts - can’t wait to see them all assembled...

ralleyquattro · **Posted:** Tue Oct 09, 2018 7:39 am

Hopefully this weekend the project gets back on track.
Shell is going to a body shop for final welding and fabrication!
Can’t wait. It has been too long.

That is the plan.
With a roll cage somwhere in the middle.

Nice ! This is what I want to do . Don’t know if I can make the cage or if I should have someone do it
FIA spec or ?

FIA would be ideal but I will settle for one that will qualify for Targa Newfoundland.

ralleyquattro · **Posted:** Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:13 pm

Some progress.

So the B-pillar cut I performed was a little too optimistic.
Lucky me I had couple new inner pieces (full length) for reference.

Once the B-pillar is established it will get located on the rocker panel and welded in.
