Engine mounts

First up this is a boring post - my apologies - most race car fabrication looks pretty damn boring.... but there you go - so for a quick blast of something dynamic - here is me driving a race car up a hill last weekend - slightly above walking pace

There that should take care of the boredom - now on to the important stuff - we now have engine mounts - even with some less than wonderfull tube joints... yay! Nice welding too - Thanks Guru

These mounts are the ones that keep the engine really solid

while this ones ties it all together - and along with the bottom mounts mean taht this thing is tied in very tight - my fillings will suffer!

Mounted

Well then meet my new best friend - mr Tube Notcher - plus a REALL big drill - its a great partnership!

Oh yeah we were making engine mounts!!!! See - I may actually weld these rather than retain the masking tape and gravity clamps

lurve that drill.... its a loaner but its lovely

funnily enough I usually hate this part - the firts notch is ALWAYS right the decond one is the killer

This install uses the Fiat engine mounts all round - the car has not been cut at all

more later

coming off life support

So almost a year - whats the bloody bomb maker been doing then? lots!
the orange thing in the corner is coming back to life

it has fluid lines and brakes, glazing and mirrors, belts and switch panels it has an engine and box waiting to go in and a dummy unit in the hole.

tyres are stacked waiting for mounting

almost there family almost there - just waiting on the final maching of the diff and drive unit ... mind you I have been saying that since MARCH....

and for the first time a look at the home for this thing - its okay - you have to step out to change your mind but its okay.....
