Gonna be wicked!

Sjukt Bygge!

Tack så mycket

Last week we took our gas turbine bike to Finnish motorcycle exhibition and we got the OpenClass 2nd price Not bad for a first-timer?

This week I continued building my car, naturally... Passenger side needed an air duct too, which became as good as the other side. Here you can see the boxed subframe reinforcements:


A-pillars got reinforcements too with dimpled holes:

Few aluminium bits I made recently, these should keep feet still and reduce the heat radiated from the gearbox or exhaust:


Passenger side (updated):

Impressive.

Really nice work

Really nice work!

Thanks again!

Here's monday update.
Finally I got all the seat mounts welded and made a bracket for a hand brake, it's time for paint soon!


Driver fits and driving position is somewhat cozy and roomy, I like:

Time for the dashboard. I modified the orginal model a little bit, photoshopped how it should look like when finished and today I started to create the mold.

Sketch:


Model covered with aluminium tape and wax:


Gelcoat layer:


Fiberglass:


And couple of foam reinforcements:


Tomorrow the moment of truth

Nice work

Thank you!

Getting there.. I'm pretty happy with the mold as it's my first big fiberglass project Just a little bit sanding and filler into the worst spots. Also started to make foam models for the insets:

Dashboard project continues..

I finished the mold yesterday, surface wasn't perfect but good enough as the final product goes to flocking:


Then a thick layer of gelcoat into the mold:


One layer of chopped type fiberglass and one layer of braid type as reinforcement:

Getting there.. Gelcoat had melted the paint which made the surface look strange But the result otherwise is decent, little bit of sanding and grinding.. Weight was 3kg.

Nice

I hope the next products will be better, got a few tips and experience from this

Yesterday I got E30, E36 and E36 M3,2 spindles side by side for measuring. Gathered some useful data..

Almost every part in this picture is already fitted, but the list of the other tasks seems endless... By the end of spring I want to drop it on it's wheels with finished bodykit!

Horizontal tube for the seatbelts:


IC radiator air duct, didn't have patience to make a mold so I stacked the fiberglass over the foam model:

Woohoo, it fits
