Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

What did you cover the steering column with? Trying to find something similar for my escort to get rid of the unsightly backside of the hub adapter and bare column!

Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

Donkeys dicks aside, made a bit more progress with the doors. Now fully lightened, shut strap fitted and i have also added the locks and handles so doors can be fitted. Mirror and perspex left off for now, prior to paint, internal door lock pull and edge trim will be sorted this week.





Hopefully there will be regular updates over the next couple of weeks, as long as you lot arent too bored with it

Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

Saw your car over at graham's place the other day. Looks like its ready to just be put together

Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

Big thanks to Graham for all of his hard work, now its my turn to get stuck in



Starting to clean the old girl up, fitted the lights mainly for motivational purposes, but hey it all helps

Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

Bit more mocking up, reservoirs look good on the cage and test fitted back bumper, mainly to keep it out of harms way.
Will gradually build the car up to make sure everything fits ok as it only takes a day to strip it all. At least I will know if anything is missing/lost.

Few more bits mocked up. Looking a lot more like home now, plus it should make the final build a lot easier getting any snags out of the way now. Need to make a new mount for the coil pack next as it cant mount in the same place as before.
