Sagaris Project returns to the UK

Bit more done and it’s starting to look like a car. One piece hinged bonnet and hinge boxes fitted. Still need to fit the catch boxes.
Loads still left to do but I can see light at the end of the tunnel now.
I know the front looks very low I’ve not had chance to set up the shockers yet for ride height but would appreciate any measurement or settings that people have found work well.

Thanks Ian I can’t wait either but realistically it’s going to be next summer before it finds its way onto the public roads.

I was going to update this but every time I try uploading pictures it fails plus quite a few of my previous pictures seem to have disappeared. Just tried again and it comes up with an error☹️
I have been posting some progress on Facebook.
Will try upload pictures again later.
The car is at the painters now should get it back very soon. Will still need quite a bit of work but should be on the road for April May time

[chris52]

The pics seem to have reappeared but still
Can’t seem to upload more. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Tried an image hosting so hopefully this will work

New headline fitted not a majorly hard job but did take a bit to get right.


Interior carpets dash and seats fitted




This was about as far as I could go so off to the painters for final prep and paint





At the painters











Should get it back soon. The bodyshop will refit the bonnet and doors but all the rest I will do at home. Must admit I can’t wait to get back on it

Car now painted will be picking it up tomorrow to finish of the rebuild. Really happy with how it’s turned out so far

[chris52]

The colour is Rolex Blue the cars original colour in dull light it just looks like a dark blue but get the sun or artificial light and it really pops blue/purple looks fabulous and it’s cheap paint about £60 a litre compared to the flip colours which at 10 times that.
The company I used is a local friend but he is usually booked up for months at a time. He had my car for 10 weeks and just fitted it in when he had time.

The fronts lights will be standard black. I did consider leaving them blue but it just didn’t look right to me.

Apologies for not updating the car is now finished. Not had chance to get out in it yet as were in lockdown but looking forward to it when where allowed back out to play.
Will Post some pictures up of it later
Cheers Chris

[chris52]

Hi Gary many thanks for the comment. I have been out in the car a few time mainly local 50 mile runs but did do a longer one a couple of weeks ago. Probably done about 400 miles total. A few minor teething issues in the beginning but all working well now and it’s a hell of a buzz when you put your foot on the Loud pedal.

[chris52]

Thanks Scot I really appreciate that. How’s the M going?

[chris52]

Thanks Rob👍
