The mad rush is on to make it to the grid… Blimey this pre-seaon race preparations are intense… There is still a lot to do, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Quick update on Simon’s car.. it has just undergone a transformation, never mind Chip Foose and the Overhaullin’ team… Stu, Andy and the team at the College of North West London, pulled out the stops and got the car into it’s new guise in an afternoon! (A massive thanks to them for all the effort, energy and enthusiasm the ploughed into the car with such an intense deadline - respect is due!)
by 2pm - The car is prepped for paint :
by 4pm - it has an entire white base coat:
by 6pm it’s in Honey Monster Orange!

Now for the final build up. Simon collected the engine parts from the balancer today (http://www.basset-down-balancing.co.uk/Â ) It’s going to be 2165cc - Built from parts collated from various trips to the states, and has some of the new Cheepie Chinese parts starting to come onto the market and some CB Stuff, and a load of bits purchased from Triangle Auto Parts in Florida (00 1 407 644 5688Â Stephen has been a massive help sourcing parts for great prices!)
Full specs and info will be posted later…
