Started on finishing the front end now  I know the trans parts are on there way at last, I need to machine out the boxster hubs  to 55mm to accept the Caymen coilovers









Inset pressed in place for the coil over

Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

Bit more done today realised why bother with boxster hubs when you need Cayman  hubs and they seam a nicer hub and lighter

Making the hub for the brake rotor


Caymen hub is on the right





Rotors on just need to make the calliper bracket

Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

Bit of a milestone today the front end is assembled and tight and on the floor ready for fingers crossed this week to have all the geometry checked and set. Before we go any further the spacing has worked out just as I hoped
.













transmission parts sound be here end of the week so I can check nothing too much has to moved the on to body work

cheers andy

[Andy Sykes]

I've got to finish the very front of the car protect the fuel cell, and work a way to hinge the flip front as it needs to go up and over.

Cheers Andy

I don't think you will need the wheelie bars with all that at the front    

I would worry that you will get some electrical interference with all that so close together, the MSD DIS  2& 4 are particularly troublesome with cross talking with other electrical signals

Keep working away on it and we might actually find out if it does or not

couldn't do much more as the polyurethane was still curing

cheers andy

[Andy Sykes]

I couldn't get the flip front to up and over there is just too much in the way so im just going to have to remove the air dam to flip the front

[BeetleBug]

Please educate me Andy because I got lost somewhere around where around your trailer build. You had a Porsche G50, then a Porsche 930 and now a Mendeola?

And no, I`m not a hater!

[Andy Sykes]

Hi

It started as a G50 when it was going to be a road car, the 930 turned out be be a no go ratios all wrong so this is the final design lol

Deco case basically a stronger mendeola that is off to Germany soon to be built fully sequential

Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

today was d day was the trans case going to fit YES









just not sure what extra mounts to use ?

started on infilling the doors milled a slot for the release handle





and just because lol

[Andy Sykes]

a bit more flip front designing im pretty happy with how the mount works and weighs nothing





started on the front transmission mount







not sure if I need one here as its on a motor plate any suggestions?



I didn't realise how close the fit was



cheers andy

[Andy Sykes]

Bit more done induction engine side is 80% there



rubbish picture lol



Cheers andy

[richie]

On the intake section between the heads I think you will need something that will allow for the engine expansion, some wiggins clamps or hose similar to what Jyrki did on his build, if it is one piece it will try to pull the manifolds of or similar, welding looks nice though

cheers Richie

[Andy Sykes]

i have got some wiggins fitting but I changed my mind last minute as the don't have expansion on Scooby engine manifold but im comparing apples to pears , I guess I could add them if it starts to crack

a little bit more done

more window tabs



actually fitted the front air dam I think it will need to come up a bit



bit more welding up on the manifold



injector bosses in



these guys are pretty good at welding lol



cheers andy

[Andy Sykes]

All finished and placed back in to check I've got to remodel my alternator bracket oops








Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

after I changed hubs to Cayman I gained a few inches in height so I did a bit of tweaking today









I think im getting close to paint

cheers Andy 

[Andy Sykes]

not much of an update but finished on door dam thing took ages lol



and welded in the roof fins from behind


I will start the other door tmw and then on with all the little bits of welding I need to finish so the car can at last go to paint

cheers andy

[Andy Sykes]

Welding underneath is complete



Bit by bit lol

Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

I've been trying to think of how finish the inside were I'm fitting the flip front did this today but I'm not sure about it



My dogs decided to remodel the office chair as we'll today 



I think I need to start a to do list now to get this car to paint

Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]

Started on the drivers side now as I seam to be getting through all the little jobs I've been putting off



Where I had made the rear removable it's now 100% not coming off



Cheers Andy

[Andy Sykes]
