Okay thanks for the advice! :) I checked that carbotech pads are available to my calipers and those are also a lot cheaper than Ferodos..

Recently I made a place for the IC radiator, that was pretty much the only place because I didn't want to stuff anything extra to the front. Water tank and pump will be placed to the trunk also.

Fuel tank is now isolated from the cabin, I wasn't really satisfied with the previous version but this turned out better :)

Then I spent few minutes to sketch dashboard, next I'll make a plywood model:

Here's air intake for cabin heater, I'm going to use an universal heater unit. Water should run to direction of the blue arrow and red arrow shows path for air:

IC is also now mounted, heater will be bolted on top of it:

Wood workshop! Plywood model almost done, today I must check if the gear stick has enough room, you can't remember everything at once... :roll:

No major progress with the car this year, yet, just completed some unfinished welds and made necessary reinforcements for the roll cage:

Our gas turbine bike has taken some time again as we are taking it to a Finnish bike show in the end of the month, few updates and polishing:

..so again I had time for the car. Firstly I did some cutting to complete few welds, but also you'll see air duct for the IC radiator and rear brakes, as well as body needs to be widen couple of centimeters:

Thanks Nisse!

Cut, create, copy, paste.. That's how a sheetmetal version of the widebody is done. Shy version of the Group5 cars..
Still a lot to do.

Thanks guys! Haven't seen similar bodywork in E30 either, got to try something different :)

One side ready, one to do. Air duct for the radiator with 180mm hose connection and 76mm for the brakes. Not the easiest thing to do out of sheet metal, but I'm pretty happy with the result :)
