MooSPEED IV - Build Diary

September 2003

Achievements since last update;
Here's a couple of months worth of updates on one page - as you can see, dramatic progress being made - at last

Bodywork is ON !!!

YES, I went for the RANGE - and it actually looks like a car now...

  • Wiring looms front and back
  • Coolant hoses
  • 1st time out the garage
  • Bodywork on
  • Gearchange

 


Fixing stuff the cable tie holders to the underside of the chassis bars. The idea is to have cables as hidden from view as possible.

 


Headlamp wires, I ran the nearside wires down the bonnet hinge tube, keeps them out the way. Didn't forget to trim out the offside wires first which is pretty good for me.

 


Expansion tank mounted onto the same level as on the bike, thing is that it's well below the highest point. Means jacking the car up to fill it up but otherwise I can't see any issues

 

 


Gearchange - then engine end

 


Water pump breather hose and tapped oil cooler

 


Dodgy number 2 cylinder

 


Fitting the cables at the back

 


Oil pressure sendor & hose

 


Coolant hose and vent coming from back of engine. I used flexy hose from Fisher's - it's the right size and easy to use. It's also lots cheaper than Samco.

Although I wouldn't go for Samco even if I was rich, I can't say that I'm a fan of overpriced bright blue shiny tubes...

 


Speed sensor mounted in transmission tunnel, two magnets are mounted on the propshaft with araldite which I then painted over to keep protected.

Pretty chuffed with the fit of these and the sensor mounting bracket.

 


1st time out in the sun

 


Bit "beach buggy"


Wish it was driveable


Praying for a working car

 


Recessed rear lights - Corvette Stingray is it ?

 


Needs ventilation holes in the front of the pod

 


Curvy car


Body on at last !! Hoorah !!

 


Now it'll be tricky to work on

 


Mmm not much space for a filter then...
