Alrighty. My appologies for dropping off for so long. Yesterday she came back home and today my brothers car went back to his place until spring when we get some nicer painting weather. So now I'm ready to get back into it

[Tough_little_ke20]

So straight into the car getting the cooler mounted and I run out of argon, great. Got a start though. Got carried away and started playing with the spliter design too

[Tough_little_ke20]

Oil cooler mounted, onto the front hubs, I can't redrill them to a 4 stud as you can see from the photos so I have to make new ones

[Tough_little_ke20]

Thanks guys, yep I'll smooth up a few little gouges in them and when the cars closer to finished I'll get them and the rear bumper rechromed.

Got some vt window winders today and created electric windows, driver side is done, I got it from Ke78rolla's post http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/59933-making-a-power-window-ke30/

I tweaked it a little, but a brace over the top with a hole to brace the center pin, also welded and bolted it rather than pop rivets. The reason I went electric on a racecar is simply no matter where I ran the. Intrusion bar it was going to clash with the winder so I just put it where I wanted it which worked out right on the shaft and ditch the winder by going electric. Plenty of people said go with Perspex riveted in or side sliding Perspex but I like glass even though it's a little heavier it's nicer. Also with the seat so far back it's a fair reach to the winder so with the harness done up unless your elasto man, your not winding the window.

I have a video on my Instagram of the window working if anyone wants to see it my profile is ke_addict36

Went racing today, after 2.5 hours of traveling rain stopped play so I turned around and came home, so it wasn't planned but I got more done on the car. The other door now has electric windows, thought I'd take some photos of the bracket this time, also drilled the rear rotors and fitted them aswell as chopping the rock hard rear springs that wouldn't compress so I could get the car sitting at the right height, when the car is don't I'll get softer springs that will actually move
