Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Finally just some random pics of the car on it's feet

I'm in love with the wheels....

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Bit of a milestone today. Car is on it's wheels for the first time today so we can mock up a few things

Here's the roof vent



Strengthening plates in engine bay




This shows how much we've chopped out of the front valance to give wheel clearance



Here's the plate made up for the Hydro Handbrake



Here's the box for the Brake Fluid Reservoirs. Its not centered as we are fitting the heater behind it



Fuel Tank in place but waiting for a bracket to be made. We'll put the filler hole on the side of the car even though we've filled in the original hole already



Here's the g/box Xmember. We might have issues with it and the exhaust so it may need modding



Here's the oil cooler mounted too

Cheers Mark,

Still a bit of fabrication to do -

Fuel Tank
Air vent
Handbrake

Then the body work can start.....

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Just a couple of pics of the large tunnel showing the amount of room around the G/Box

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Dry Build continues

Here's the g/box Xmember





Gear Lever Surround





Threw the seats in to mock for the hydro handbrake. The pics don't show how low and far back the seats are. I'm 6'4" and I can just see over the steering wheel which is great. Love the driving position

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Thanks guys, yeah there may be a bit more in it but than can wait till the car is built and we get it on a chassis dyno.


Cheers
