Just Got Back from the Workshop

[Alan Whitaker]

Hi All
I've been putting things together today, a trial fit to see what I need to do next, sorted out the door bobbins, re fitted the body and dash. Looks like a bit of body mod's to the rear wheel arch and the exhausts could do with 15 mm more clearance to the foot well, I think its just about done. Strip it all down and blast and paint the chassis.

Things to do are
windscreen
exhaust system
Finish wiring
Paint
upholstery.
I would be a happy chap is I could make next years SCH and Spa,

Is that a V6 ?

Not any more Lexus 4.2 iirc

So will it win best s2 or best v8 at s club perhaps we need a best modified catagory?

Love it

Out of interesst will it need a (is it called a iva??????) Where by heavily modifyed and kit cars have to be checked for safety/ roadworthyness I think it works on a percentage system ???? I think it looks fantastic by the way I would put the doors on and drive it round as is.

Hi.

I don't need to have an IVA, My son and his friend an MOT tester keep a keen eye on me to make sure I don't do anything I shouldn't, I think of something and they tell me if I can do it or not.
They have cut back my creativity on several occasions but I would not want to drive something that is unsafe to me or anybody ells on the road, that's why the roll bar is so beefed up, my friend said if I put 4 point harnesses in and it rolled the screen pillars would just fold in, he made sure the angle of the roll bar would be ok.. Its my car but I don't have the final say where safety is an issue, I do get to pick the colours.

Hi
Its from a 95 none VVTI, I have uprated cams in this and a forged crank along with some forged rods, with the turbos I hope to get 500 bhp, still some work to do on the engine yet.
