Thanks man, that is a nice thing to say.Just like to say I'm very impressed with all of your projects. Show how it should be done.
Cheers. I meant the sound, as it cuts a bit because of the roll bar transmitting noise of road bumps. I think the video gives the general gist, if not just evidence it goes along! I will do better ones in time.Cool video !
You can edit your videos on youtube and there´s a function that will reduce the shaking too !
;P
Anyway, I am back from London after a faultless trip of 2 hours each way. Couldn't be happier with things in general as it already feels like an easy to drive, well behaved, reliable car that also makes silly noises and goes fast. Even quite good on fuel! No speedometer or odometer yet to measure properly yet.
My friend and I got lots of little improvements done on the car, like mounting the pedals and gearstick properly. Even has a nice little T-Jet badge on the grille. Unfortunately, the main task of moving the intermediate shaft further into the gearbox was a failure. There were few options after an exhaustive 5 hour analysis was done. These were:
1) make a new bracket from scratch, not to be undertaken lightly
2) extending the existing shaft
3) adjusting an original bravo/GP/500 intermediate shaft to fit the UT inboard CV
In the end there wasn't time and I didn't have the parts. A factor in this was not marooning me in London by starting something that couldn't be finished! Really needed to have brought a sacrificial part. Oh well.
Here is what the car is looking like now. Quite a few finishing jobs, particularly loose and temporary wiring. Dashboard will take a while to sort in general.

Bravo dashboard gaffer taped over UT dash, only useful for coolant temp, oil pressure warning and rev counter. What more do you need?!
