105 Targa Car Version 2.0

[LaStregaNera]

steering rack is out of a ford laser
Ford Laser KC/KE 10/1985 - > 03/1990

pretty nice unit actually, nice compact ali body, and reactively lightweight, you thinking of a conversion?

the mud flaps are just an ebay special, the fit reasonably well

Well, probably not on my current car, but the steering box has always been the issue with trying to put a v6 in the rhd cars with a decent set of pipes...

So got some more done over Easter, all the doors boot and bonnet are on the car, and actually open and close! Considerable time was spent by my dad and myself getting the doors fitted, and although the passenger door was very troublesome, we're both very happy with the fit we finally achieved, only a few more small jobs and she'll be ready for paint, good thing to as I've got to get my entry in for Targa high country by the end of this week...

MMMMM, Shiny
Well it had to happen eventually, got a call from the paint shop on Saturday saying they didn't have much on for Monday so if I could get it over there they could get started.  So I put the trailer on the car dragged the rotisserie onto the trailer strapped it down and drove the 20m from my house to Eltham collision care across the road.  I barely had time to sweep the workshop floor before it was time to pick it up again, and pretty happy with the result!.  So basically all the pits I had sandblasted have now been painted, so inside the cabin, the boot, the engine bay, underneath the floor and inside all the guards.  Sorry about the quality of the photo's I'll try and get some better ones when I get more light

So the plan is to get it off the rotisserie (requiring some sill stand construction, more welding....), put the suspension in it and then send it back to get the outside done, but I can also throw the engine in and get started on the dreaded wiring harness, and get the brake and fuel lines in, so plenty of work to do from this point!

Had a bit of fun in the last couple of weeks bolting bits and pieces on

I'll be looking at the tail shaft soon, does anyone have any leads on getting a tail shaft balanced in Melbourne?

Looks like it's really coming together now!

[Colin Byrne]

Certainly is, so nice to be bolting things on for (hopefully) the finale time, I'll look at putting the engine in this week so I have it there to run the wiring, that's always a landmark point in a car build!

Ready for a test run at the Phillip Island sprint?   

[Colin Byrne]

mmmmm, that might be pushing it....

[Divano Veloce]

Looking very good Colin, you must be keen to get back behind the wheel!

[Colin Byrne]

yea, getting pretty sick of being sidelined, one rally on the service crew side of things was enough for me!

[Colin Byrne]

So it had to happen eventually, the car is painted, very happy with the job, color is great and the car is super straight, now on to the fun job of bolting everything on
