And lights, frig me do you think you got enough! No excuse for not working right through the night with those things Tongue

oh yes, i certainly am looking forward to driving it again, and yes, also to see what sort of figures its gonna be producing on the dyno Smile
it really helps me prioritize the order in which im going to do stuff if im actually driving the car regularly, if its just sat in the garage like it has been for the last 3 months the to do list just gets insane because everytime i open the doors i think of something else to do, but yes, exciting week Smile

pleased with my light haul, been working with one halogen light mounted on a wall and a couple of inspection lamps upto this point, gonna be nice to have the place lit up properly Smile

Right then, really cracked on with getting some stuff sorted tonight in an effort to get the car ready to drive on wednesday when the glass man comes, first up, after a trip to the tool hire shop to get the right size hole saw, made my new gauge surround:

cut the holes out, no trips to a&e so successful so far

about an hour of filing and swearing to get it to fit flush:

shotblasted to get a nice smooth surface

painted

finished Smile

oh and the paint is finished on the bits for the 11mm pump, just wacked the bits on for a picture, il re-assemble properly later in the week
picture definatly doesnt do it justice, but the white bits look great, really glossy

im off to measure up the car now to make some brackets for the new bonnet pins to mount too, make them after work tommorrow then hopefully get it mounted and ready to roll Smile


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 07-01-2013

Trial fitted the painted bootlock, looks a bit weird without the barrel in but i like it. just need the new bumper painting and fitted to complete the rear end

RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 08-01-2013

Bollocks!!!!
theres customers at work today and tommorrow so i wont be able to go in and make up the brackets i need to mount the bonnet pins too.
to cheer myself up ive bought a new egt gauge and some 405 wiper washers so i dont have to drill holes for mist jets in the fibreglass bonnet, also a big box of assorted wiring and blanking grommets to finish of the holes that i drilled through the bulkhead for gauge sensors and blank off the hole in the roof where the aerial used to be. its got to go to the body shop at some point to get the uneven roof dents filled and painted so il get the hole properly blanked off then.

still working on the perspex sunroof replacement, need to take the original glass out of the cartridge to send to the machine shop to use as a template but that can wait.

il put everything back together later ready for the new glass tommorrow, so annoyed about not been able to mount my bonnet, is it legal to drive without one? haha


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 08-01-2013

found the issue that i was having with the indicators after the rear light conversion was due to a dodgy light card. gotta try get down the scrappy at dinner time 2moz, also blew a fuse. annoyed doesn't even begin to describe....

i cant wait to actually drive it, its such a tease just sat there in the garage tempting me


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - sam - 08-01-2013

why didnt you by a din gauge set up off ebay thee like £15?

I wanted it to look like an oem fitment, the ones you can buy just dont have the look i wanted, too llumpy if you know what i mean.
think its looks so much better having one nice flat piece


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - cwspellowe - 08-01-2013

Yeah but makes the gauges awkward to look at, no?

not really no, i can see all 3 fine Smile
il have water temp closest to the wheel, egt in the middle and voltage on the end


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - sam - 08-01-2013

ahhhh fair enough


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - staierionut - 09-01-2013

Great project ! I would like to see a video with this dieselzilla burning some rubber Big Grin


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 09-01-2013

I missed the glass man today as he didnt tell me what time he was turning up, but no matter, another appointment made for thursday afternoon Smile

having a half day off work to get the car ready to drive again plus a good clean inside and out, broken glass and oily hand prints everywhere.
gonna have to leave the screen sealant to set for 24 hours after its so itl be ready just in time to start my weekend off properly.

CAN'T WAIT!!!! Big Grin

RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - Tallguy_2 - 09-01-2013

They're just m3 style ones that are manual so I could rid the electrics

the whole car looks like a skip currently, broken glass everywhere, screws all over the floor, wire off cuts, the dash wiring's all hanging out, no roof lining etc etc etc

putting it all back together today ready to drive though Smile

RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - Pugmarshall - 10-01-2013

Coming on nicely mate, nice to see you're doing stuff properly not just rushing! You gonna be about on the weekend then?

I certainly hope so Smile


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - Pugmarshall - 10-01-2013

I'll be about, if you're in the 'ford give me a shout! Smile


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - strictly_perv - 10-01-2013

Can't imagine it being more than 170bhp with a pretty standard pump. Get that 11mm on before the dyno! Wink


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - sam - 10-01-2013

Really looking forward to see this on the 2nd Smile phil why dont you come?


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 10-01-2013

Look who came to see me today

[Image: IMAG0593_zpsd02a29d8.jpg]

many updates later, off to finish fitting the bonnet now


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - sam - 10-01-2013

Waheyyy Big Grin


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 10-01-2013

so far today:

put most of the dash back together, new white bits look better than i thought. putting the sunroof back in by myself was interesting to say the least, twatted myself on the head with it a few times haha
[Image: IMAG0591_zps277f7b92.jpg]

then the glass man came, new screen sorted Smile
[Image: IMAG0597_zps16a47460.jpg]

really need to get the roof repaired properly, it looks absolutely gash, big dip in the middle still and loads of ripples and high points
[Image: IMAG0598_zpse93ca748.jpg]

knocked up some temporary bonnet pin brackets, just need to get it on so i can drive it to the workshop and fabricate some proper ones as its an incredibly hard thing to make when you only have pictures and a tape measure to go by Sad

just waiting on royal fail now to deliver my 405 wipers so i can get them on and sorted

the cars looking a bit sorry for itself, quite a few battle scars from its ordeal with the bonnet and loads of little scratches and scuffs as the result of been crammed in an already full garage. needs a bloody good clean and t-cutting.

I cant stop thinking about how shit the roof looks, really bugging me

im really interested to see what its making in its current form. after the first dyno, itl be a weekend of getting all the parts ive been collecting on then another dyno session to see whats improved Big Grin


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - Pugmarshall - 10-01-2013

When you putting it on a RR? And just realised this has Chrystal's, you going to do something about the gap with the ph1 bonnet?

possibly going to the midlands meet on the 27th for a dyno run, but this depends heavily on funds this month, then will be definatly going to the south west meet on 2nd feb for a dyno at ray west.

ive got a smooth phase 3 grill that was purchsed with intent to cover up the light gap but i hated the look of it as soon as i tried it, so back to phase 1 grill. i bought some new hockey sticks from the scrappy the other day to cover the gap under the lights so should make it look slightly better.

really want the bonnet painting and the roof sorted. can set about beefing up the power a bit when its sorted. also was looking at it from a distance earlier and decided it needs to go lower again, like it was in my avatar pic Smile

*smoothed phase 3 bonnet and grill


RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - SonnyRoby - 10-01-2013

Put some ph1 headlights back there. Looks shit!
