Build Week

This week has finally seen some progress on the car as I had booked the week off specifically to get 3-4 days on it, the rest of the days will be spent on some well deserved family time.

I have a few articles that need finishing which hopefully I'll get to at the end of the week but until then heres one little snippet of this weeks work.

• Custom heater system
• Electronic Handbrake
• Side Louvres
• Nose Vents
• Wheel Arches
• Manifolds

Articles to follow on most of the above but I'll cover the Manifold here.

Basically I noticed that there was a lot of soot around the manifolds suggesting a leak. When I removed the manifold to check it I noticed that the hand made, stainless steel manifolds that AK built and fitted had no gasket or even assembly paste on them. No wonder they were leaking!!

Frankly I find this a bit annoying given they cost over £1500, surely its not that difficult to make a gasket too?

So this became an unplanned job for the week. Following a quick clean with some petrol I added a little assembly paste and reattached the exhausts.

The longest job was re-wiring everything so I could start they engine to check for leaks. 

Luckily all good.

There's not much to see but I do like to add the odd photo to my post.

More to follow....
