"The Project"

A sneak peek for those of you not on my facebook







But all was not as it seemed with the bodywork










In the bodyshop and things didn't quite go to plan with sticking the arches back on






care to count how many colours it has been? I count 8



The roof used to have proper painted stripes! And was deffinately an Atomic Kitten car at some point

UPDATE


Well as you all know by now the front bumper was in a right sorry state when I got the car, and after sitting outside in the rain for so long the front bumper was well rotten and past the point of being saved....

enter the new one




Totally built from scratch by the guys at Autotechnique and grafted onto a Rover 45 bumper you would be hard pressed to tell it from the original - and it's actually lighter!


UPDATE:

Fresh out of the oven!






Update:


Back at Dreadnought again



just after fitting the coilovers







Insides going back in again




Serious stopping power



Some fun wiring up the DTA ECU




Some of the fresh sponsors stickers



At the last show at Knockhill, just after trying to make a bid for the track over the top of Kev



Fuel system finished



And a pic I found of it when it was brand new!

Is this the ex-display BTCC version? The one with no guts? Nice to see it hasn't been broken up.

it is indeed the spare one that didn't have an engine, but 70% of everything else is there.

It's going to be one hell of a project getting it running properly at BTCC spec with all the toys working, but it's getting there slowly.

No plans to race it yet, but that all depends on when it's finished
