[MazCinq]

well small update:- feet are sorted for the cage and the tunnel is cut out and seat in place ready to move colome and pedals across.

 

[cheeky cinqy]

hope this project gets finished looks like it could be some fun

 

[MazCinq]

ths aint no project, this is booked to race in the winter autograss season which starts end of october. this will be finished short of something massive that stops it.

That's one way to sort out a cento handbrake... :devil:

sure is lol

 

[ycming]

race end of oct? Is the engine bolted down yet?

 

[MazCinq]

not yet but it should go fairly quick, personally i recon mid nov to race but my dad has it into his head mid oct to race.

 

[MazCinq]

well just a little update, door bars done for cage and eventually the doors will be welded shut but what you guys thinking so far???

 

[MazCinq]

well got a small update for you all that are watching this build.

finally started on the front cradle and suspension set up. not the best but hope you can get the idea of whats happening here.

 

[MazCinq]

this will be finished but i have just had some bad news from my dad so i am fairly sure this has gone on the back burner for a few weeks so maybe looking like racing next season instead of the winter series.

ok so got another update!!

turns out a mitsi V6 in a seicento is tighter than a nats crack but it fits, got the bumper and wings on (with cable ties at mo) but it all fits ish.

the front wheel base is now 5" wider on each side 10" in total, that should help handling a little lol

how is that suspension going to work at that angle? You need to convert it to dual wishbone....

EDIT: Ah I see the start of the 2nd wishbone in one of the other pics

cool, glad to see progress on this, really fun project!

 

[MazCinq]

yeah its just temp bar, it will be full dual wishbone once we are finished lol

 

[MazCinq]

well as some of you predicted this build has died, we got to the point of the engine in place and mounted to find that the bonnet and front panels were less than an inch off the block which in the event of a crash there would be no protection for the engine at all, we decided to end the build and sold the shell to a friend (other thread i revived) to re-shell his autograss car due to a crash and bent the car.
