So looking forward to seeing where this goes, keep up the good work:five:

Ls3 v8 going in?

Is there any car left :)

Hmmm, just trying to work out what would need that much room at the front?

its done for weight ;)

That is one severe weight saving excercise mate. Good job :ok:

This is shaping up very nicely already. :cool:

Simon,
Keep the photos coming.
This exciting. It's like a weekly dose of the Beano. I couldn't wait for the next one when I was a kid.
It's like a eastenders for blokes and a practical supplement to top gear.

Mind you - you've taken so much out it's like automobile anorexia...

When it's done I would be interested to know the weight comparison.

Lmfao :)

looks good mate, i really like threads like this :-)

you certainly have bigger goolies than me to cut the chassis rails in half

No time for larfin mate.
Post the next episode!!
This stuff is new and interesting and I don't know it.

picked up fibreglass doors and plastic windows have arrived.. but not had time to do anything on the car hence no update :)

Keep it comming mate lol

Where will this sit with the other two scoobs Simon? Dedicated track car?

Reluctanly replacing the green one

Track, drag, road, sprint, fun.

What's the weight diff on the doors?

Dunno

Steel doors still on the car at the mo but considerable

Did I miss something? :getmecoat:
What happened to the green one?

nothing, it is currently tucked up in my garage..

basically to do what I want to do I would need to take the car off the road (the green one) and rip it apart.. it is a UK shell so has underseal and with all my stripping of the car it matched a fairly unstriped type r weight for weight at 1230kgs.. yes I have a cage but had stripped out a lot of weight.. so to do the green car properly I would need to strip it to a bear shell and be without my car for a few months realistically.. and I hate that..
I also have always wanted to scratch the 2door itch.. and this one came along cheap..
so here it is :)

There is no point me having two cars of similar ilk.. they don't sell complete, so all the best bits off the green car will be put into this new one ansd the remains of the green car parked up in case I need it / want to build something else in future.

i take it the heater in the 2nd pic was on today? brrrr

Nope, it was cold lol

looks like its almost ready for a rover v8 an manuel box lol

Shut up I want something more power than that :)

lol. jokeing aside though, a 700bhp cossy yb would look quite nice in there.

Errrmm shhhh but if it works out 700 wil be low voost

I can't wait to see where this project goes. It's gonna be a stunner. :cool:

So, question!.....




.....Colour?

Will it be Green again, as in your logo green? That would look stunning :nod:

A nice set of white alloys would finish that off beautifully :ok:

Colourwise I have done a complete spectum of it will be white with green graphics to black with green graphics but deffo decided it will be green, I have a couple of shades in mind but likely to be a bit brighter than the other car :)

Kawasaki greens allways good ;-) cant wait to see the finished product mate

it deffo ticks all the right boxes

Hats off to you, that's dedication to the cause in its extreme. You already have 2 very sorted scoobs and your still not content or waivering away from scoobism.

Had to scratch the two door itch also :)

Taking shape and looking good Simon, but christ knows where you find the time!

Jolly black and green monster works. Jolly White and green monster, etc but anything other the green is a tough sell!!!:grin:
