    cheers guys. i had stock pulleys on the 'gold rush' plus aftermarket pulleys wont fit behind the OCD cover without spacing and thats not a bit of me. I do agree but im also very happy with my choice

    Started to gold plate a few bits today. I opted against the rose gold for the pulleys as i wanted a richer look. I think with the 2 types of gold being used ( 18ct rose gold & 24ct gold) it will be nice touch. Anyway i got my Power house racing pulley set gold plated and i managed to gold plate the custom top suspension rings. Thanks for the comments. oh i re-done the cam pulleys!! i went off the chrome and gold mix so just went all gold to match other pulleys

    Wanted. TT AUTO tensioner. Anyone got one forsale?

    Yeah all done by hand the old skool way. It's truly amazing the skill of some of the cuts and techniques used. I'm very lucky to showcase some amazing work from a legendary engraver. Yeah I miss that car. Onwards and upwards though and this already is smashing it

    Apparently took him 5 days which is why it cost the most but i appreciate the work involved... He is in his 80's and uses a hammer and chisel I'm very lucky to have his work.

    My plans are paying off then... Being different and thinking out the box is what it's all about. Thanks for the comment

    SRD 4" will do the job more than perfectly.. ETS is a bit more money and prob for bigger power goals

    only 2 left.............

    yes lee is helping assemble the engine and head. Ill keep the thread posted with the spec i have gone for nearer the time. clear coat will just soak up into the carbon fabric mate. Once all the stages of resin was complete i flatted back once more then clear coated at the end. Its very labour intensive and to be honest a pain in the arse but least i can say i done those bits myself.. im trying to do all the car myself but SRD will be heavily involved nearer the end just like they was with my previous build.
  21. Rob_Mitchell
    yeah having a engine and head built mate, hopefully have it next year. Thanks mate, just take your time on them as its easily rushed due to the long curing times of the resin
  22. Rob_Mitchell
    good luck!! they are like rocking horse shit.
  23. Rob_Mitchell
    They took me ages to do, about 5 coats of resin on them and especially drilling all the holes that was challenging.
  24. Rob_Mitchell
    Little update whilst im waiting on some exciting stuff. Got the carbon fibre door handles and fuel flap back. They look lovely
