Cheers lad, yea it's similar to a drill brush but it fits an angle grinder instead, they are horrible to use but get the job done,

Been doing some Christmas shopping, gettin a few bits to keep me occupied over the hols,

Hybrid racing shifter and cables

And got all my brake cylinders and lines, just need to fit a fuel system now an the interior will be ready for paint,

 

[lloyd]

few more updates of what i got upto over the christmas hols, nothing major really, i got the lend of a k20 gearbox so i could fit the donor k20 just to trial fit everything before i go painting the engine bay, also need to make sure i didnt mount the shifter in such a way that the cables would be too short,

must say it is quite rare to see the engine sitting on the wrong side of the engine bay, also got myself a 3point strut brace and frp bootlid aiming for sub 900kgs,

also made a start on the braided brake line's, painful operation peeling back the braid to fit the olive

really starting to miss the car now as it has been over a year since i have driven it, my other projects are takeing a back seat for now as i want to push on and try complete this in time for the summer track season, would appreciate if anyone knows of a k24 short-block for sale would contact me as i am having difficulty sourcing one out side of the usa

Amazing build pal! Great to see there's still people doing projects like this especially in Ireland! Fair play to ya!

 

[ShaneK20]

Great build. Where did you source the frp bootlid? Any idea of the weight difference?

 

[ramboteamjon]

Great build mate, would love to do this to my ek9 or shld say pay someone to do it! Lol
