Supercar on a shoestring..
Merlin: "Firstly Happy Birthday starter motor turned up on thursday after a bit of mixup mayhem, and its fair to say that you have a brand new original lucas starter and not a reconditioned one, but it did cost a little more than first thought. as soon as we fire the engine up for a test to make sure we have oil pressure and double check the tappet clearences, ill let you know it will prob be tuesday, here is the shopping list :-
Heat sheild x2, get the 580mm size http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=NIMG1C flexible water hose 38mm 4meter length or four 1 meter lengths how ever it works out. gear cables, im sure i saw these in demon tweeks, 8ft length. part number 80834 rear helper springs maybe a cheaper option, 75mm diameter. aero catches 1pair maybe the locking type, this way i can put 1 locking on the front and 1 on the rear. throttle cable, ebay number 280203156188 used these before, always struggle when looking for long lengths. skate board tape, ebay number 250321801449 this is to go on the passenger foot rest come battery holder and also in the drivers foot well, you may have to do a bit of hunting to find a sheet 300 square if you do find it then get 2 sheets. pillar gauge holder, to hold at least 3 clocks ebay number 160301921932. oil pressure gauge clock 56mm.set of door locks like sugested, our motor factors dont have anything.
I have had a good look around the car, and im pretty sure that these are the last bits to buy :) the links that i have used are only *examples*, if you can find nicer or cheaper ones then go for it, if you think i have missed somthing then let me know. also if you could pay for the following it would be excellent drive shafts, foam filled fuel tanks, starter motor, dash inc center console, fire wall, door bars, repair to adaptor plate, rear light mould inc mouldings, fitting of front head lights.
The sparkie gave us a quote which sounds like a bargain to me, but maybe its because i hate electrics so much?!!? also the two dyno guys that i have been talking to have also quoted.. oh and before i forget do i have permission to drill a hole in your steering wheel for a small start button ???"
Rock n roll..
