Recent or current work going on at the workshop

28th January 2012

I've now rebuilt the 545ci Ford from John Grant's 100E. After two seasons running in two
classes it checked out in tip top condition. It's now ready for some dyno action to sort out
its true unleaded credentials before getting a new set of headers and some silencers ready for
a trip back to Scandinavia in the Summer.

Another Ford in the workshop, this crate small block 302 (or should I say 5 litre), is a strong foundation
for the blower induction that we recently fitted on the Parker family Mustang.
The original engione in the car had done quite a few miles and didn't take kindly to the addition of the
blower so the replacement block and heads was needed to take full advantage of the power available.

Just in was my favourite '59 Impala which is just getting faster and faster. Now fitted with a blown
smallblock that makes 700hp, the original 1 5/8" headers just weren't going to manage.

The space available was looking a bit tight to allow for the step up to larger pipes.
There's a set of adapter plates fitted alaong with a pair of laser cut flanges from
Whengparts to allow for the new 2" primary pipes.

but a bit of messing about with the new 304 stainless bends and all was good.

Here's the difference from the old 1 5/8" to the new 2"...

Complete with crank case evacuation..

First pictures of this '34 chassis, here with a fender fitted to check ride height and steering clearances.

Some more stuff on the drift cars...

This is the front end that they will be running for next year and they needed to be reinforced
to stop too much damage when they touch the cones.

So I built this steel tube framework that sits behind the 'glass front end to support it.

Here's the frame looking from underneath with the front end in position.

I've now finished the second of the Kyouto Drift team Skyline cage.
This one is a little different from the last one as it has a cross brace.

Also as it has no interior the door bars can be more symmetrical, the top one is still
removable but its hardly neccessary as it sits quite low.

These cars have rather a lot of wiring!

This one also has a sunroof so the cage is a little lower inside due to the clearance needed.
