I must be younger than I thought.

How long ago was Joey Deacon running, thats a new one on me, at the ripe old age of 53.



Good luck for Thursday Tone

Come of it Ian, you must know who Joey Deacon was!

I do now I have googled his name.

A poor unfortunate that suffered from cerebral palsy.

Joseph John "Joey" Deacon (24 May 1920 - 3 December 1981) was a British author and television personality

And someone who unfortunately everyone took the piss out of in the 70's at school.

He was part of a Blue Peter appeal.

It was the done thing to call someone a "Joey".

He was assisted by some random bloke (whose name escapes me) that was a Bernard Breslaw double, who could "understand" what Joey was saying

[scooby999]

everyone was getting called joey deacon back in the 70's ,I think he first came to light on Blue Peter

Looking good mate. was nice to see ya the other day.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

good to see ya mate

my quad went today , so iv spent the money already heated front screen,all the fuel ends to finish fuel systum,various quick realease catchs, manual brake compensator valve, an a car cover.

I didnt work on it tonight, instead iv made a list (a big one at that) of all the things that need doing big or small just beacuse i find myself jumping from one thing to another all the time, so hopfully i can now tick off things as i go.

Superb stuff Tone

It's coming on a bundle, and as was said earlier, thats with one hand

This has been a cracking and in depth thread to keep up with mate, thanks for posting it all

[2-jaffacake-tone]

thanks steve

hopfully this sunday iam going up to pick by fiberglass doors

[2-jaffacake-tone]

Finished the in car fueling, just got to clip down the lines

[Bearo]

It's the kind of touch a build like yours deserves mate

[Scottie :)]

Get it!!

[2-jaffacake-tone]

Got my fiberglass doors today (thanks brad) light is understatment!! about 2.5/3 kgs each standard are 20/25kgs lol

heated front winscreen is being fitted, removed a few bit to convert to a single wipe aswell

The car is going away this weekend to one of my friends (alloy welder)
the plan is to modifiy the FMIC by fliping it up upside down so the outlets are at the top then modify the end tanks so that the pipe works goes underneath each headlight, this is to shorten the pipe work as much as poss

[Anger]

Mind those doors after what happened to Stews from the clinic and thats how Stews got his FMIC

[2-jaffacake-tone]

iam going to have them modded a bit as they are near see through lol, yer seen quite a few done now did scoobyducks the same, seams to work well

[dynamix]

iv spoke to the guy who made this,Might be making one for me. what you recon?

you're going to need to move the exhaust exit there tone to fit the diffuser.

That looks okay but I would run it further forward too so that the change of angle is enclosed - otherwise it will work like the HTA rear mounted parachutes and just get ripped off.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

yup i did see thepotential prob of exhaust, was thinking i could mount it so it fits inside the diffuser ,dont rearly want a side exit. do you think that would interfear with air flow :S

when you say more forward, do you mean more under the car? do u think a steeper angle would be better?

tone

[dynamix]

I moved my exit exit out through the bumper so as to avoid spoiling the line across the back and avoid cutting it. It also acts like a blown diffuser like the F1 boys have.

Yes extend it further forwards so that there is some flat section before it sweeps upwards.

The angle is probably too steep as it is but depends on what wing/s you are using on the rear of the car and their proximity to the diffuser exit. If anything I would say make it shallower.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

cheers dunc will look in to that, maybe a side exit would be easier


The doors are completly bare no bolt holes for hinges catchs, handle, so iv started cutting doors about

the edges still need triming, the body shop will be doing that.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

It moves (not powered by engine lol),its now off the ramp an went away for some alloy welding at my friends workshop




finished modding the IC

[2-jaffacake-tone]

finished cliping down the fuel lines, also started mounting the doors

Getting there mate

[2-jaffacake-tone]

As for the rest of the car i plan to put a few day on it next week (not alowed to work yet) so i might as well play about on mine.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

Because iv done away with all the boot hindges an springs/catches an de-skined the boot, iam making the boot re-movable so iv set about with quick release springs at the bottom an droped down over pins at the top.

bit more weight saving

[Jolly Green Monster]

have you done away with boot lock and associated skin?

I was looking at doing so but compromised any just removed the reenforment / internal skin of boot lid but kept latch and associated skin and hinges as I intend using the car on the road, and to travel to jobs so need the boot space

Simon

[2-jaffacake-tone]

At the moment it looks like this on the underside, but iam now going to chop the rest out an just leave the lock barrel in for looks
