Tim's Mk1 Race Car build thread |
|
By: mitlom Date: June 8, 2013, 5:07 pm |
|
--------------------------------------------------------- |
|
So I thought it about time I start a thread on my new race/track |
|
car....plan is to enter it in Class A of the VAG Trophy |
|
Championship next season...but still got a load of work to do |
|
before then! I'm hoping to have it up and running by end of |
|
August fingers crossed....hope you are reading this Mr Moyle ;) |
|
So a bit of history about the car.... |
|
I bought the car as a bare rolling shell in 1996, with no |
|
interior, glass or engine. The shell is a genuine Campaign |
|
edition EW chassis and it's been dry stored in the Forest of |
|
Dean since I got it. I had always wanted to turn it in to a |
|
track/race car but have just never got round to it......until |
|
about three years ago when I decided if I don't make a start on |
|
it I never will! |
|
I had already started hoarding bits to go on and in it over the |
|
years..... |

|
Eventhough the shell has been dry stored for so long the dreaded |
|
tin worm had made an appearance on the floorpans, so new |
|
complete floorpans were sourced for both sides and fitted, this |
|
actually saved the job of removing the original seat runners |
|
which won't be needed due to using side mounted bucket seats ;) |

Still got a lot to do.....car is being widetracked significantly |
|
to fill the Berg cup arches and need to sort some custom |
|
driveshafts or find some to suit.... |
|
I'll try and get some pics up of the car and engine bits when I |
|
get a chance to get them hosted so keep your eyes peeled on |
|
here......shell should be going for paint in a couple of weeks |
|
;D |
|
Oh and if you were wondering why I started the thread in the JMR |
|
customer cars section.....Jason will be building the engine that |
|
will be going in the car using the bits I've supplied above. |
|
Pistons and block have already been decked to get the CR we will |
|
be targeting of 12.5ish:1 , the head will be a 8v x-flow head |
|
treated to some time on the grinding bench with Jason listening |
|
to Wham.... :P |
|
A custom JMR inlet will join the ITBs to the head, I dropped the |
|
laser cut flange profiles down to Jason a few weeks back! The |
|
target for the initial build using the 40/33 valve sizes is |
|
around the 200bhp mark with more to come with the upgrade 42/35 |
|
head :o |

Some lovely kit you've accumulated there sir! |
|
I take it the ball joint spacers are for added caster? |

Unfortunately things seem to have slowed down a little at the |
|
bodyshop so car is still not finished >:( |
|
The cage and seat rails are now in and hopefully the interior |
|
will be painted this weekend! Have had to add some additional |
|
bracing to the door bars added as I'm quite attached to my legs |
|
and I didn't feel the existing single door bar would offer |
|
enough protection with the fibreglass doors! Now got a X with |
|
strengthening gussets as well ;) |
|
Have done a little more prep work on the running gear.... |
|
Front hubs cleaned, painted and assembled..... |

Some bits ready to go on my spare rear axle beam and some new |
|
electrical bits n bobs..... |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/ATT00004_zpsdf61d474.… |
|
Rear beam all seam welded and rear links cut, welded and |
|
fitted.....just need to get it stripped again, blasted and |
|
powder coated ;D |

I've also had some aluminium strengthening ribs bonded to my |
|
fibreglass bonnet as it was flexing too much for my liking... |

I know people may think I'm going OTT on this but it's a lot |
|
nicer and easier to work on a nice clean car with everything |
|
like new ;) |
|
That's about it for now, I'll get more pics as soon as I make |
|
any further progress 8) |

I know I have been a bit quiet of late, but that doesn't mean |
|
things haven't been progressing ;) |
|
I have got the modified rear beam and link rods blasted and |
|
powder coated along with some required braketry......front |
|
wishbone rear mountings, rear anti roll bar clamps etc |
|

|
In the meantime the guy doing the bodywork has also been making |
|
some progress with the shell.....all sound proofing and rubber |
|
stuff on interior and inner wings etc now removed, exterior of |
|
shell is in primer, roll cage extensions to front turrets have |
|
been fabricated and fitted, door bar modifications completed |
|
and..... |

So I thought I'd post a bit more of an update.....things are |
|
moving along with the shell prep, all but the Berg arches and |
|
front spoiler are now sprayed 8) |
|
First off though the shell has been rolled on to it's side so |
|
that the underside could have all the sealant etc removed and |
|
prepped for spraying :o |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_5679_zps3dbd482d.… |
|
Then it was sprayed 'wet on wet' after applying the primer.... |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_2923_zps7b3df610.… |
|
Next up was the engine bay, interior and rollcage.... |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_6957_zps78b5e402.… |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_2213_zps6ea6a113.… |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_0092_zps55c6b3a1.… |
|
and then finally the main body and the wings were sprayed |
|
together....... |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_7722_zps68c7bb97.… |
|
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mitlom/Track%20Car/IMG_0398_zpsa7390c96.… |
|
I'm now on holiday for 10days and have been told it'll be |
|
finished and back together ready for me to collect when I get |
|
back ;D |
