Simon

LOL, this should be a good thread. So, who will guess first whats under the cover :norty:

I'll tell you it is a subaru ;)

looks like its got roof bars....wagon?:ugeek:

it does look like roof bars, didn't notice that

Simon

also looks like its got no scoop..

no bonnet.. the piece of metal poking through the tarp is the bonnet catch ;)

dont expect anything resembling a running car when I take the cover off.. this is the beginning :) honest.

Simon

they could be horns!!!!

is it a subaru justy:ok:

lol @ horns..

could be.. I haven't taken the cover off yet.. lol I bought it without even seeing it, then dropped around to sellers place (a mate) and didn't take the tarp off and took this picture as it was nicely secured.. he then dropped it off at tfs for me.. lol I will be there monday working on it, more pics then

Simon

I know what it is & whats going in it!!:norty:

fastest ice cream van in the uk ;) ice cream going in it.. lol

oh and anyone that already knows is forbidden to say.. lol

svx engine? seems to be the way everyone else is going at the minute.

Would be nice, but main job is to get shell how I want it

Looking at the width of it, could be a Leggy?

Ok my lips are sealed.....................................

Will be popping down there tomorrow... will have a look then :D

you have to know the password to get in ;)

Yeah it's easy, it's called making the coffee!!

errrrmmm I don't drink coffee and most places have banned me from making it..

Simon

Bugger!!

Think I saw it yesterday when I was there. Looking forward to seeing this thread develop Simon!!!....

:) shhhh dont tell ;)

Today was first time I really saw car, spent sometime accessing and looking at it etc but couple of hours work also spent on it and chuffed with purchase and progress.

Rear subframe, steering column, steering rack, steering wheel, hubs etc installed and now sits on its own wheels, except there not as they are borrowed lol
Entire loom then pretty much removed.

Many thanks to stew and bod for working on it with me

Simon

Was funny moving it on Sat with the wheels all over the place

Yep lol

It now steers and wheels face same direction

Mk3 Capri, nice! Always wanted one of those...;-);-)

Now we are getting somewhere, secret squirrel that you are!

Looking forward to this for sure :ok:

I take it you'll be looking for about 300bhp & 300ft lb then :wink:

:getmecoat:

Keep the pics comming mate lol think its gonna be another great build :-)

A pic of its good side i see Simon lol

I did consider returning it to standardish spec about 400 and using it daily but the 2door is not ideal for everyday use that I do.

got very limited pictures of it tbh.

decided no point annoying people keeping it secret anymore

whats the plan with it si? striped out to the max?

Of course ;)

It already is

No just the normal unbolting stuff and taking soundproofing, not stripped to the MAX!!!! ;)

Some work to do yet

Like the monster was before its new state of modification Si

Yes but will have a dashboard as i dont like look of car without :)

Bit of progress today, fairly pleased.

Loom fully removed - big weight in that lot

Then removed rear wiper and motor which is forsale with rear screen too if anyone wants to retro fit a rear wiper?

Then stew arrived and offered the use of his plasma cutter for the next job on the list :)

Simon

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.
