davidcourier Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well not much progress on the Herald...much work has gone in the Jaguar MK2 and respray of the Spitfire after my brother got to close to another car...After fitting the suspension we did a bit more work on the wiring, which is now almost finished. The Coupe is now at the welder who is repairing the passenger door, part of the chassis and a small part of the wheelarch. Did a bit of driving. Still pinking a lot, so back to the rolling road after the welding is completed, to adjust the tming.Will it ever be finished...probably not :) still it sounds mean as hell! and is pretty fast (scarry!)Some videos of the car:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaSX1byJ6bMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Qw-Sx5LB8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Mmmmm - sounds nice - sounds very angry :)Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcourier Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 It sounds like it's hungry for all my savings... me and the co-owner of the car more or less decided last night that after the welding it could do with a respray... never ending story this car. But we just keep on dreaming that one day we will do a long distance rally in it like the RBRR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just found this thread, that is some nice work you have done on the car, looking very nice. :)How comfortable are those seats? (what's the company name who make them) I like the look of old style race seats but with the head rest! Would they also fit a spitfire?
