Unfortunately it seems the car has developed Worms..... I'm sure there's a cure, so Ive sent the car to a specialist to route them out....

Is that one of those kits where you build your exhaust like Lego bricks?

Yes Steve it is. Not sure what there called, but a good time saving tool if you do a lot of exhaust ... Would love to take the Credit for the exhaust but it's at a Specialist local to me who's work is %75 Art ... I only made the header plates ... The system will have 1 silencer per side, but with the option to run another if it's to load.... Exit will be as per the Original cars just in front of the rear wheels...

It's called ICEngineworks, or the company that makes it is.

Brilliant work Clive. What's happening with the other project?

Which one ? My car is waiting on some machining on the heads. But seeing as Ive asked 2 people so far to
do the machining and both didn't want to do it, as it needs to be put on a angle plate for the correct 4 degree angle
and needs to have a CNC profile done.. There scared about scrapping the heads... So I'm going to have to machine up a fixed angle plate that I can bolt my heads to and then machine them myself.......


If you look at the angle of the rockers there way to high, so I need to machine the platform down to lower them, but also It need's to miss the intake tracks so its not a straight machining pass...

The Mallock is coming along well should be welding up the adjustable pedal platform today...



Plus while the 962 is at my friends place I have finished the second side piece I was re-laminating and have corrected the rear clip profile, by cutting the return lip and weighting the body up to pull it back to the correct shape. The sides are now vertical ready to match up to the rest of the body.








I did sit down and watch the F1 GP yesterday but that's about the only down time I get these days....

Boring as hell, wasn't it. They need to drastically cut the aero downforce so that they can run close to each other. Passing in the pits or when using DRS is no fun for us.

Just spoke to Chris the welder, yes that last weld was rotated by machine but was hand held Tig torch and hand fed filler wire.....
Warning this link contains a lot of welding porn... You've been warned

I didn't know you had a Mallock as well.
I was referring to the GTR-ish thing. Good to see that it's not been left out.
You're doing some excellent work there. Keep it up!
