its not my fault u want to copy me, with tank.
no point doing doors as u have to wait 5 yrs till it will get painted
u got the rest of that body kit off yet?
get that engine running then u can get it out ready for paint and do the whole car like me .
ha ha mines painted

[dangerousdave]

was going to go unit but look at the weather im just on ebay trying to think of a way to make a filter for an-10 fitment!! im thinking of getting this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-AN8-Blue-Anodis ... 23066074c4

and taking it apart drilling and tappint the ends out and sticking these on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-AN10-10-M14x1- ... 255ac1179f

cost around 30 quid where as the aeromotive ones in usa are 4 times that plus del plus tax!!?

what do you think? and everyone else!

[richie baby]

ur doors wont take themself off will they

[Ruishy1]

go for it, if you can make the bits your self then why pay 4 times as much

tight fisted FTMFW
( not having a dig, im doing the exact same thing )

[dangerousdave]

yea i dont see why it wont work, can you? should flow it easy as there the same filterson the an-6 too!!

done a bit the last 2 days thought id find the extent of rust to my rear arch and to my supprise a repair panel would cover all the work needed











i am plesantly supprised the kit wasnt hiding anything too awful

then this baxtered of a job ,....

will get it on the car at the weekend hopefully

[richie baby]

[dangerousdave]

welding comences saturday dude! and roadrunner might be getting my 044 pump

[jayrs]

jesus what have i missed here, a welded up fuel panel

[fiestajames]

good project mate

[shaunrs]

how you gona put petrol in

[dangerousdave]

well it started when i took the tank off to clean up and got bored so ordered a custom 8gal fuel cell for it should be ready next friday i hope and thought it would be a good time to sort thhe shell out too, so hopefully this weekends mission is to buy a 044 fuel pump and get the body prepped for a respray

[shaunrs]

NICE

[dangerousdave]

yeah mate, i got some enthusiasm back for the fez so ill do as much as possible lol

[dangerousdave]

little progress made this weekend, ........

well the other side of the quarter was worse than the front!


bit of rust on the inside panel....


ground back and treated with that krust stuff!!


and finally some new metal!



thats it for now! more soon

[jayrs]

coming on there mate, did you bend that round plate a tad to carry on with the line?

[dangerousdave]

yeah i did altho it dont look like it lol but ill be using that fiberglass filler in the plate first and around the welds and behind the plate too where the filler pipe went then a nice thin layer of filler over the top should be in primer next weekend i hope! the only other rust i found on the shell was the door shuts, the big bubble i ground down and treated as it was solid the only bits to replace are a small 1-2 inch patch under the door seals in the corners both sides! well happy with that

[jayrs]

fair play, as you say cant see it in pic.

[dangerousdave]

ah great whats happened to photobucket? my pics have all gone....

yeah it will look perfect when its done jay! it needed to be done, may as well do it while i can aint i!

[jayrs]

indeed mate

pics working my end fella

[richie baby]

i have a 044 fuel pump for u.
it came today

[crazycage]

why the 044 pump ?

[dangerousdave]

rich.... nice one buddy, i should pick both tanks up tuesday if there ready

crazy,..why not? arte they no good? thought id better get a good one to go with my new tank and braided hoses! and heard there pretty good its always something i can transfer to another car if i wanted to aswell. ill be building a monster engine like yours and lucas and a few others on here over the next 12 months or so i just want everything else to be in place to accept it when its done

and it will all look nice in the boot! lol

[dangerousdave]

well finished welding the panel today and used some filler with fiberglass and carbon fibre shavings in kindly donated by richie_baby to get the shape and get it nice and flat



need to skim it a few times with propper filler now and get it perfect!

also nice new part my 044 pump from matt lewis motorsport

[jayrs]

looking good mate.

i take it your fitting a external pump and doing away with the internal one?
as that one in the pic above is a external one mate

[dangerousdave]

yes external mate its the one used in 500bhp cossies alto they make a cradle to use it as an internal pump too

[jonyb4]

fuel pumps is a topic over my head

[dangerousdave]

lol, i just been reading up on it main reason i did all this is cuz i dont want anymore rust on this car ever again so f**k the filler cap off! lol it just looked like a rotten 20 yr old xr2i, i want it to look tidy but standardish

ill give anything a try mate, look at my bodywork never done it before but looks solid to me lets hope the fudgekin spewedhumps round here dont knock my filler out lol

[jayrs]

ah fair play mate.
why external though? sorry if you have answered somewhere on the thread

[dangerousdave]

cuz i dont wanna make/buy a custom cradle for this pump and my custom alloy cell is foam filled exept for the sweep of the float and sumped so the bottom acts as a swirl pot so has the feed from the bottom of the tank ill post picks up when i collect it in the week

[jayrs]

you know what mate, i must of missed something on this, i thought, how the fcuk he gunna fill the tank now, and assumed you were gunna have a filler nexk in the boot (seen it before) didnt think about a different tank, now it makes sense,
sorry mate should of read the thread again

[crazycage]

no mate there great pumps but well ott for your build, but if you are planning a better engine then why not future proof it! im still not on a 044 yet @370hp but i will be fitting two over the winter along with a set of 480cc injectors for next year

[dangerousdave]

i only payed a little more than a cossie pump for it so cant go wrong really, only 119 quid and rated to 700 bhp with the right lines

all i want is to get this up and running in the next few months might even buy a megasquirt next month still, i know this engine wont take much power or abuse i just got my t3 rebuilt and ill pick it up wednesday its had the works on it 360deg bigger thrust washer bla bla etc ect but on this decomp plate im only looking for 200-220 ish for a year or so while i build a blacktop 2.1 then hopefully it will drop straight in and be running again the same week

[dangerousdave]

sorry mate should of read the thread again

yeah i want to build it to last i cant be doing with more rust and another repair down the line lol so bye bye petrol cap

[jayrs]

fair enough mate, dont blaim ya for that
