Fucking arsholes....massive effort! respect to you.

 

[Sam]

Before you fit the fto brakes have 2mm skimmed off the mounting lugs and the caliper carriers, this will remove the need for spacing out the disc from the hub.

 

[Sam]

And ditch the power land manifold, right in the bin

 

[N15 Niall]

Hehe why so Sam? Was planning on a trackforged mani down the line.

 

[Sam]

they just dont perform.

 

[n15...]

Yeah I was planning to do that with the hubs spacers are shite!

Powerland doesn't perform he is right almost anyone that looked at it that had a clue of the way manifolds work said it was shite... but they sound soooooo good ha ha.

 

[N15 Niall]

90% of the welding done one or two more holes left to fill and then it'll be time to dry build the entire bay again.
Getting time to do anything is a nightmare between work and college exams but the end of next month should see the bay painted.

 

[damienga15de]

Hope you filled everything you could with cavity wax

 

[N15 Niall]

Cavity wax Damo? Filled where with it??? Did the legs when i did underneath...

 

[n15...]

I'd imagine like mine when I had it being out in the rain would be a rare occasion for it anyway?

 

[damienga15de]

Any cavity I filled sills crossmember etc

 

[N15 Niall]

So its July and work continues very fucking slowly on the N1. Relocated to a mates shed where he builds drift cars so when im not working with him im at the N1.
At the moment im in the middle of plating the unwanted holes in the bay as some of the plating was to rough to work with so the badly filled holes were holesawed out and plated flush with the original metal. Leaving it far tidier and alot more discreet. The primer and paint will completely conceal any trace of them.
Ive put a timeline on the car now as im suck of it sitting up looking butchered so i will be updating weekly from now on.

[charley]

Got to respect what your doing...I just wouldn't have the patience. To attempt it... rust proofing yeah but smoothing out the bay no!

 

[N15 Niall]

Thanks man. Its tedious as fuck as 8m not amazing with a welder. Very time consuming. The first hole took around 45mins to get perfect. As its curved with a ripple through it from factory and had to be shaped and dollied accordingly... yay.

 

[luvrust]

Ace,keep at it

 

[N15 Niall]

These are ready for tacking in tomorrow.

 

[Sam]

Get stitch welding the bay

 

[N15 Niall]

[damienga15de]

[N15 Niall]
