Fish’n’Chips + Beer

Wednesday 1st March, 2017

In New Zealand nothing really compares to a good feed of Fish’n’Chips with beer to fuel the car build. Scott’s project this evening over dinner [fish’n’chips+beer] was to complete the brake lines which by all accounts was a very successful evening….well done McGregor Motorsport 2017!


Back together

Once the welding was finished it was time to check all the components and begin to re-build the car. Scott has wisely decided after discussions about the build plan to assemble the entire car for testing to complete satisfaction before taking it all apart for painting, powder coating then assembly. I am still looking at door design and overall wet weather options…a nice project indeed.

WELDING

I have just arrived in New Zealand, caught with my Beach House yearly visit which was great. Now I am just counting the days until I am once again at McGregor Motorsport with Scott on the build progress. However progress is great with Mark doing the final welds on the chassis…then it’s back over and on its legs once again.

Fabrication

The final parts arrived from Speed Science and fitted so time to pull out the motor and gearbox.

Scott is really organized, parts are always clearly stored and not stuffed into boxes and dark places…

It was great to see the motor and gearbox out of the car which allows the belly pan to be fabricated.
