Title: Re: jicks 9 year project...... Post by: jick on June 19, 2007, 19:29:36 pm got about 3 weekends worth of work done on the car so far this year.....working too much at the moment, 7 days a week, big wedding coming up in August also which has taken a chunk of cash!
certainly cant spare the time to attend Bug-in which is a shame.. :( however, the upside is.... after august i'm gonna give myself about 4 months holiday....i have my floorpan booked in for a special top secret treatment which should look wild, the engine is getting built in december so maybe by spring 2008 i'll be on the road.

also i dropped off my spindle mounts, discs & calipers over to Wayne at the Intergalactic hotrod shop which is really near to where my car is so he can get them all fitting & working etc which is not gonna be easy at all.....but exciting nonetheless. well, for me at least. ;) Title: Re: jicks 9 year project......

Post by: jick on November 28, 2014, 10:06:42 am new carpet and headlining from Pete at Bromsgrove Auto Trim.....im lucky to have this guy just 5 minutes down the road.
probably one of the nicest dudes I've met on this scene over the last 20years or so, and he does what he says, when he says....which is a quite something! if you need any trimming in the Midlands area I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I've just flaked the Berg Traction bar, my favourite paint at the moment is the House Of Kolors pale gold mini flake basecoat, I tint it with HOK Kandy Koncentrates that way you have the green (or whatever) colour, but in the sunlight there's a real gold sheen to it....(you can see the effect better on my Mustang roof in the Off-Topic section.)

(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c260/jick-r/IMG_2395_zps50072174.jpg) Thank-you Mr Keene!! Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: Lids on December 05, 2014, 20:22:23 pm What linkage do you plan on using
Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: jick on December 05, 2014, 20:49:32 pm I have a "Tayco" style linkage with the plain round cross-bar, I think a Bugpack version? as you can imagine I purchased it a long time ago!
I've painted it black and the accelerator cable arm and the end linkages are gold plated...haha! it only cost about £30..... I need to make up some carb/crossbar mounting brackets as it wont fit as it is..... Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: vwhelmot on December 05, 2014, 23:31:50 pm That looks the dogs bollocks. Where did you get the IDA stacks ?
Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: jick on December 06, 2014, 00:52:48 am The IDA stacks? Hmmm.... Well I remember they fitted badly and needed some careful sanding down of the "flange"
I'm pretty sure they were the cheap-ass thin new Empi versions ..... I convinced myself this was a good idea because they weigh nothing! I had them gold anodised.... Thanks dude....I'm interested to see how you improve your car....I was always massively impressed by it! Jick Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: vwhelmot on December 06, 2014, 10:29:01 am Cheers amigo. PM sent.
Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: Mike Maize on December 06, 2014, 13:26:52 pm Jick I just went back through this whole thread.......your car inspires me. Thanks for some originality!

I think there's a LOT more room for creativity in this scene..... I Think it's a big reason that things seem to be quietening down around here... Title: Re: jicks 9 year project......

Can't wait to see it in the flesh ;) 👍👍👍 Cheers, Matt Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: jamiep_jamiep on February 04, 2015, 10:17:21 am Many thanks for the kind words Mike! I think there's a LOT more room for creativity in this scene..... I Think it's a big reason that things seem to be quietening down around here... That is very true Jick :) Motor looks great! Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: wolfswest on February 04, 2015, 17:00:40 pm Hi Jick,
do you have a detail photo of those stacks in combination with the mounts for the taico linkage? I Always thought that the cheapo empi stacks looked cool, certainly for the price. What's the downside? I didn't think you could make them fit in combination with a taico linkage because the mounts clamps around the front stacks... Thx, Dem Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: dannyboy on February 04, 2015, 18:42:13 pm really pleased someone has fitted a set of those radir wheels.if thats what they are? really cool 8)
Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: jick on February 05, 2015, 01:25:44 am Wow.... Thanks guys!
2015 is looking like it's going to be a fun year! Matt, once again, massive thanks! I've just had the car totally rewired, gotta collect it on Saturday then just down to our friend Wayne at Intergalactic to get the engine in & set up...... I'll be in touch! Mr Wolfwest.......sorry, no detail shots as yet I'm afraid , the stacks are super flimsy and I needed to spend quite some time finely sanding back the bottom part where they slip into the carb, not too complicated I suppose.... I have a weird Berg prototype oil breather ( so I'm told?) which interferes with the linkage anyway, so I need to fab up some new carb mounted brackets to make it all work...... And Mr Dannyboy.... Thanks man! Yeah , they're the Radirs, I adore them, but if I'd have known the stress and bother of getting them to work on a street car I wouldn't have even thought about it..... ( actually that's a lie, I would have, but they've been a struggle!) Thanks all for the kind words etc..... It's a real boost! Jick Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: dannyboy on February 05, 2015, 20:52:16 pm i wanted to fit these or weld magnums i did a little reserch about fitting the radirs and promptly stuck with the ercos for another couple of years lol
well done for getting them to work they really do look awesome Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: Lids on February 07, 2015, 20:40:44 pm James gotta say, waiting almost 20 years to fit those seats was worth the wait. Interior is lovely.
Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: jick on February 07, 2015, 23:45:44 pm Thanks man..... Nice to catch up today!
Frightening to think how long it's been since you saw my car! It's like fucking "Hot Tub Time Machine" haha Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: Iryanu on February 08, 2015, 19:31:50 pm I'm in love with those spindlemounts! :D
Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: beetletom on February 12, 2015, 19:28:51 pm this car is on another level!! it just keeps getting better, those inner arches are insane
its good to see something totally different being done will it be finished for volksworld this year? Title: Re: jicks looooong-ass project...... Post by: jick on February 15, 2015, 19:33:55 pm Thanks men!
Tom, Volksworld was my goal, but I've got quite a lot going on at the moment... And I've just had a fairly expensive month... More of that another time! So whilst I could probably thrash & get the car ready I just don't think I can spare the time to be at the show for even a day this year, let alone a whole long weekend... :( I'm in no rush...... :D Stay tuned into "in da werks" More car news etc on its way!
