Somehow, "garage" doesn't seem to do that workspace justice. Not that I'm jealous or anything...

Nice one Joop - but PLEASE tell me that you intend painting the GRP?

Bare chassis too?

Nice garage

Is there a reason not to have the chassis coated?

so how much weight saving are we talking about here? No gelcoat?

Nice one Joop...you only have to use the top link from that photo-website...then you need nothing to add, can't go wrong I hope... then copy that link wich started with [IMG] and paste on this web nothing more or less, good luck next time, because there are 2 forums links, you need the [IMG] not the url one.

Ted warned me for the grey paint,
and he is right, it is a horrible fillercolor.
Wanted to spray the car smokesilver, this is the best basis.
With a set of black wheels and a set in a flashy color.
That last one is for the circuit.

Because I want to race it propper,
I also will need some reinforcements.
And of course the engine mountings
of the BMW V10 needs to be made.

Thanks for the kind reactions on the orangecolor.
I thought I ordered terracotta, but I am happy with it now.
It is a double garage 8x7, with a cellar same size.
That's for the machines and stock.

Took me a while to convince my beloved that gardenstuff
and bikes were not alowed in this "garage"

Nice middleclass car/money I think.

But a tuned M5 V8 600PS will kost the same.

And I think the V10 is a longer valuable investment.

And eh, that sound

@ donkeasy

Very nice project!" Somehow I'm quite drawn to the ultima experience, altough I'm not going to be able to buy/build one in the near future. It does sound like a very challenging project. Especially with a BMW v10 in the back. Is there anyway you could post more photo's of the build process?

Must keep my ears on maximum attack mode when it's finished (I live in Geldrop, pretty close to Eindhoven) Heard it in a regular M5 screaming past, wonder what it sounds like when mounted in an Ultima without much of the M5 sound deadening.

anyway, good luck with the project. Wish you all the best

Grtz
