few parts landed this week, mainly the xjr supercharger setup that im going to fit to a 3.9 rover v8.


going to weld up the chassis jig tomorrow so should be able to start building soon.

Angelo Amato, yeah its kind of a demo run for the universal chassis i have designed, putting one under the fassty and a mate of mine is also putting one of my chassis under under his ford prefect project. iron out any problems with them and hopefully next year i might be able to sell a few. broady, ...

cheers broady-6, :thumbsup: got alot done today, body is now off the chassis. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1726101.jpg wanted to mock the shell up at ride height with the wheels on to get an idea of how its going to look. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1726100.jpg https://www.the...

good news today chassis is ready to cut at the tube lasor,s and they say i should have it in the next couple of weeks.

still not sorted putting on pics yet but on a better note went and had a look at the chassis which i have designed and it is now all drawn up on cad and ready to be sent to the lasor cutters. hoping to get the chassis cut before xmas.

been a long time but yes its finally going to happen, the fastback build is back on. i know some of you are not going to like what im about to do but i guess we all like what we like.as posted awhile back i was going to go alley chassis and mid mounted subaru power but that idea has been scrapped an...

yes been a long time but over the next few months i am planning the next stage of my fastty build. with my long trem project now getting towards completion ( still loads to do) its time to start making plans for the fastty. as the floor pan is rubbish im going to make a new one from aluminium box se...

not been on for a long time but have no fear the fastty is not forgotten.at this moment in time it is tucked away awaiting a rainy day.i have two loves , the fastty and a mk2 cortina (aaahhhh) i have always wanted to build a car from the chassis up and were i work i have the opportunity to do so, so...

did you manage to find a pair of fibreglass front wings, if not i have a pair that came of mine. sorry did not notice you need early ones, mine are later ones. oooppppsssss

at first i thought it might be a rear but like you say it does not follow the front panel and it is very wobbly. i have another one, its not as solid and its been painted with dulux will see how it looks on car.cheers.

finnally got the acid etch primer, over the next few days get it all down to bare steel and then primed. because the car is going to be stored for a couple of mounths in a container while i find a smaller unit i want it well protected. pics as soon as its done. just got the tickets for the volksworl...

yep still a little to sand of but should get that done through the week. going to ecth prime it then put a light coat of colour base coat on to get an idea of how it could look. :D the colour needs to be bright to show of the intended body trim that is going to be made, more on this later. :idea: ;)...
