[GTRene]

wow... pretty amazing build, well done.

[geeeman]

i previously removed pics of the car pre-restoration
so for completeness:








last pic is without the aeroscreen. Am having another roll over bar made for when car is open. Modifying the pedals to give a few more inches of space and making molded foam race seat..

Wonderful project and a great writeup. Congratulations on a beautiful car. Threads like this are the very best of PH.

[geeeman]

few little things just finished off. New roll over bar, side bar, pedalbox and seat.

[Carnage]

Looking good. When's your first race?

[geeeman]

will aim for HSCC race silverstone mid july, will be booking some testing in the mean time

[Carnage]

Isn't the Silverstone round in May, or are you doing the Classic? We're testing there in the Lola and a TR5 on Feb 15 if you fancy an early season blast!

[geeeman]

sorry, yes i mean mid may

[Carnage]

Brilliant, I'm entered for that meeting too. I only live 15 minutes from the circuit so let me know if you need to stash anything!

[geeeman]

[Carnage]

hi Geoff, i got a copy of this from national motor museum archives
taken in about 63-64, north london area?

[dandarez]

Anything on the back of the photo Shadi?

Just think, the two cars in the photo cost a few hundred pounds, now they're worth tens of thousands!

[geeeman]

no info on the back..

i really like how the G4 looks on steel wheels. problem is they weigh about 6.5 kgs each!
i have been in contact with a company that offer possibly the lightest 13inch wheel available, the design being somewhat like a steel. Hope they may be able to do a set for me

For what it's worth, in my opinion I would stick with the mini-lites.
With revolution mags being a distant second and only other wheel of choice.

unfortunately the minilites made by compomotive which i have on my G4 are 6kg each. certainly not light-weight. they are also not an ideal offset. The 4 spoke revolution is much better at around 4kgs.

even steel-wheels are lighter than "heavy-metal" lightweight wheels of today
