So Mark has been hard at it, I had to get rough second hand wings as they were the only ones available, he has been repairing the sections that are being kept and working on the shut lines to the best possible outcome given the choice of paint we are going with.




He has also gone OCD on the quarters both on the outside and on the inside




We also remove the factory aerial and thats all welded up now too so we are in good shape for primer.



With IDC Round 1 coming up this weekend there wont be any work done on the car this week so you can expect mroe updates next week and maybe even see the car all one colour ha, ha, ha.

@digitalsolo : I might be able to convert him into a petrolhead but I doubt it

@FC3S Murray : Ah ya kids are awesome, you just want to pass on what you know to them, dads are such soft touches LoL

So I will try to keep regular updates coming as the car is coming along now, Mark has prep'd the standard quarters so if someone sneaks a look under the arch its still clean and tidy looking. The standard front wing have been fitted to be cut, the passenger one has a little damage so that is being repaired also but so far so good and the car is starting to take shape

More updates to come, after paint the wheels need to be refurbished, brides fitted, engine mapped and then the test spin

Thanks digitalsolo



Dropped into MG Crash Repairs yesterday to check up on the car and Mark is making good progress, thankfully he is as fussy as me so that should make a great build






This is without a doubt my favourite pic, showing my son Reese how the car was being put together

Hope to have that finished for the Summer provided I don't buy any more cars LoL

Cheers fella, ya I like the twist Double RB



Finally sorted a petrol cap and it had to come from the UK ffs




MG Crash Repairs have started on the kit, sanding it down and getting ready for primer, quality of the kit is the best I have ever seen or owned.






All prepped and ready for primer




Mark doing his thing



The result



And then straight into the body, very happy with the progress and will make sure to keep yee posted, expect to have the car finished this month

@ digitalsolo : I know ya, like hot wheels or something



Within no time, Mark had the bonnet stripped and started levelling it out :



In the mean time I went off and sourced to standard wings and dug out the rear bumper :



Dropped them off and it was nice to see Mark Snr.'s RB26 SB15 and Mark Jnr.'s BMW drift car :



Doesnt look too bad at the thread pattern for the over fenders but when you look at the wheel itself you can how wide it really is :

Called up to the lads in Stone Motorsport, trying to get a push on atm on the car so while Brendan was on the mechanics I was tipping away fibreglassing the front bumper





New clutch went, then the rb25 box and prop



So much room in the engine bay



Matting was up first



Used some resin, wanted to stay away from filler as long as possible



Had to extend the side down also



V-mount going back in



New fuel system is sick



Not happy with just mounting it, Brendan made a new rear jacking point also




Need to clean off some surface rust and paint underneath but it will look mint




View from the rear

So I have been really busy with both job so finding the time to work on any of cars has been a mission, never mind annoying others to work on it too Got the engine mounted back in, wiring started again, custom fuel cell and the new dash arrived, hope to have it out for paint by the end of December as I still need to make the front bumper, dumb ass idea to wide arch her. Enough talking more pics :








For now she is good as a shelf
