Looks great Jon, have heard lots of positive comments about the work that Haywood put out and here's the proof of the pudding.

Gary's Picnic is always a good one, we 've had Ole (pink Panther) and Udo Becker over in 2008 and DAS this year. It's worth checking out the O/FF website in the new year for dates. Smiley

It has been some time since I updated my thread so I thought I would post up a few little shots

the car progress has been slower than I expected when I first started this thread, but we are getting there now! Working 200 miles away from the car and having some personal 'obstacles' to overcome in the past year have not helped- but the enthusiasm and drive to build my 'No Compromise' race car still burns bright. I am proud of what I have done so far and the realisation of a dream is on the horizon ;-)

If you are friends with me on Facebook or you have been to Dave Haywood's workshop you may have seen a bit more of the ca, but if not here are a few sneaky shots.... It should be done for the start of the race season next year as I am about to move jobs and house again  Wink

The car comes home this week and the build will begin, so I hope to keep you all updated a little more frequently. Oh, and the motor is getting there too.... I'll take some shots of that this week.

Looking at the pictures and the title of this thread... I can't imagine that the "Quiet Corner of Stratford-Upon-Avon" is gonna stay quiet for much longer!  Wink Cheesy

I thought I would give a quick update of progress since picking the car up two weeks ago. Thanks to good friends Dave and JamieL, we have so far made the progress shown in the photos below. The big stuff is in now, next is the hydraulics and electrics... it is coming on well!

working in a single car garage is hard at times, but thankfully the weather has been good recently......



Trans and MSE shifter are in! Also the steering column, instruments, pedals and rear suspension.





Trans originally started out as a KCR built 'box with spool, pro-rings and other nice bits but unfortunately got broken in shipping. Pete E re-cased it with a gusseted Rhino casting however the gusset proved to be a bit too close to the wheelie bar bracket. With the help of the grinder and a hand file, 2 hours later it was in...... It is also nice to see the Neal clutch slave and hi-torque starter. With a 14.1:1 compression motor, I'll need it.



Neal and Jamar. Nice.



Autometers and removable Momo suede rimmed wheel. The LM1 also fits against the dash on the speaker vent.



mmmmmmm.



The first interior panels are in. Powder coated in antique grey vein by NSP Coatings in Kent.



Fitting the shift rods was a pig. We polished the 6061 rods with Silvo, then realised that when i mocked it up before paint I previously fitted the rose joints to the nose cone before putting the trans in. Unfortunately when we built it for real I forgot to do this and as the trans was such a swine to get in, we didn't want to take it out again. Out came the cordless drill and hand file on a freshly painted chassis to clearence the bolt. Jamie did this one as I didn't have the guts! All worked out well though and with a small touch up you'd never know.....



1 gallon Jaz fuel cell, 4" narrowed beam, CB dropped spindles and everything powder coated gloss black. Also the bracing for the front of the body is in...... Just got to make the track rods and buy the front dampers now.



fuel pumps for the 62s and the N2O are yet to go in up front....





Need to get some more stickers.....



Thats it for a couple of weeks, but I'll update again when we have got the rear brakes, shocks and limit straps finished and get on with the hydraulics  Smiley

Cheers,

Jonny.
