- Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:00 pm #359433 parts left to be installed (linkage, pedals and axle); i also need to purchase the other side of the axle. this will be done when the mechanic is available on Saturday



cleaned and sprayed

- Wed Jul 06, 2016 6:59 am #359436 had to move the car today from the electrician. was hoping to drive it away but due to my mechanic being missing in action for the past 2 weeks i was unable to accomplish this so i had to get a wrecker to move it back to my friends house.

i will be going on the road on Saturday with the mechanic to try to buy the final mechanical parts, which is one side axle and brake pads for the rear.

i will then await the dress up tappets cover bolts, the steel braided hoses and FPR adapter to arrive (approx 2 weeks). this way i would only need 1 last visit from the mechanic to do the following;

* install the mechanical parts (shifter linkage, pedals, axle, brakes)
* install the FPR and master cylinder reservoir bottle

Then i will turn my attention to the interior/exterior of the car.

- Wed Jul 06, 2016 7:01 am #359437 just a little journey on the Jamaican roads... enjoy!

Nice work man. Looks like u spent some serious time making this thing what it is. How long u think till it's running?

Thanks man.

Based on the fact i am dependent of several persons input (trade men) and also i will not be taking anymore leave from work for a long time so i am limited to weekend work, then a realistic goal would be to have the car fully completed by end of August 2016. Lets see how it turns out.

- Sat Jul 30, 2016 9:49 pm #359539 update

got good news that the tappets cover bolts are now in Jamaica... will pick them up Tuesday as Monday is a public holiday here

not so much good news is that i am yet to find the piece of axle... left it at the parts shop to do some matching up.. will check them back Tuesday.

- Wed Aug 03, 2016 5:13 pm #359556 great news!!!

just got a call from my mechanic that they found the axle.. i immediately left work and went for it and i am just getting back

I also picked up 6 tripods and 2 new CV joints with boots... will post pics later when i reach home

so the drive-train is now complete.. now i only need the front disc pads and everything mechanical would be complete

will pick up the tappets cover dress up bolts before the week is out

slowly but surely

- Thu Sep 01, 2016 6:47 pm #359663 Hail peeps,

Mechanic has just again confirmed the work for Saturday .

I am going ahead of myself with the hope that he will show and will be purchasing the 4 tires, disc pads and service parts tomorrow; will post pics

i am going with my personal favorite over the years, the Maxxis Victra MA-Z3.. if not available i will be hoping for the Z4's

stay tuned!

- Sun Sep 04, 2016 4:50 am #359669 hail peeps.

as promised, the mechanic came today. he however came just after mid-day and then we had to go and look for some stuff on the road. so realistically about 2 hours work was done on the car. not to say we didn't make any progress, but just not what was intended

i am currently uploading the pics and also some vids of the startup

- Sun Sep 04, 2016 5:21 am #359670 this was Friday. loaded up the rims to go get the tyre fitted. also bought the service parts.
