it'd be way easier if brad updated his original post to show the progress.

plus, el taco makes my day :)
 
We should have a sticker or t shirt made for el taco! :thumbsup:
I can't remember if your still keeping the bottom grill. Maybe its a long shot I don't know but why not put an intercoolerin that bottom grill? Just a thought.

Because it doesn't have a inter cooler due to no turbo?

Although technically you could add a inter cooler to a non turbo car its not something that would benefit performance.

normally, I'd agree with you, but Brad has always stated it's a show car and he's not concerned with performance or handling, just looks.
an intercooler can look great, even if it's doing nowt ;)
 
No doubt inter coolers looks cool (excuse the pun) :wink:

If its just for looks then get one bolted on, will look beefy and fill the front nicely :thumbsup:
 
Hello all. Sorry again for the lack of updates... broken record anyone?

This is a semi-detailed run through of what I was talking about when I said I was modifying the arches to accomodate the wider tyres and remove the 'shark fin' type thing that was stopping the wheels from coming off.

Basically the wheels didn't come off and it was doing my head in because of the amount of times I wanted to change tyre widths to get it through MOT (which is NEXT FRIDAY! :o ) Also the shark fin type do-hickey that was protruding over the rear wheels just looked nasty and I wanted to get rid of it so basically cut the damn thing off and re-did all of the inner arches to seal everything up nice and tight! Also shaved a nice half a kilo of metal work off the car... lightness FTW!

Here are some pics of the progress...

Arches look a lot better....

Im suprised that the original ones passed your prototype designs,they was just dumb.

Good luck with the MOT..
