So here some updates where I didn't had time for in the last week

On sunday one week ago, I resumed making my own mid mount. I almost spent an half day at it, but hell yeah it saves some (hard needed) money. But everything looks damn sexy!! B-Tuning Productions all the way :wink:

Picture of the mid mount


I also welded the front brackets off, so everything is verry studdy.
On the monday I most of the time drived around to get stuff. I also welded some pieces of my handbrake-bracket. Welded some nuts in the chassistunnel so I can bolt the handbrakebracket on my tunnel.

On Wednesday i work hole the day on my car.

I also today got my front trailingsarm back were the bushings were pushed out.

Wednesday one week ago i welded several unused holes close in the chassistunnel, so it stays one clean thing. Also is the hole for the original handbrakecables enlarged so I still can use them on my hydraulic handbrake.

An little bit unclear picture, maja


Handbrake-bracket is on.


Two holes in the bracket so the handbrake-cables still can be used.

On thursday one week ago (I know I'm verry bussy with my car so I couldn't update earlier ( my car is going to an show this saturday 23 of July, thats why).

Sandblasting works SUPER!!.. one side of my chassis tooked me 45 minutes. You cant keep that up with your grinder.

I used an 10m3/min aircompressor, Man that thing blows some air out.

On that day the hole chassis was blasted and several pieces of the body we blasted.

On this picture the sandblaster, airfilter for the helme, the helmet and gloves good to see. We hired this one, it was an brand new one (lucky 8) )


This is how it looks after +/- 15 min of blasting, you can't keep it up with your grinder.

Also today some little parts blasted;
-Window runway of the doors
-The edges of 3 bunnethoods blasted. The original one comes out to be the best one.

-Enginehood the underside blasted

After that I cleaned up an bit (because the compressor has to be back on monday morning (now almost an week ago).

After that I scotched the body with P180 and cleaned the body with thinner. What an work was that (almost 4 hours of work to do the completed body). And after that the body finally set in the expensive Epoxy Primer.

SSSSSSSOOOOOO last thursday I've done something on my car (after I have worked the hole day).

This was finally the first night in two weeks that goes smooth. Everything goes as planned (what was not in the past couple of days :? )

At first I picked up the handbrakelever, then it was machined to the right diameter and after that the anti-slip traction was machined on it (don't knopw the right words for it). .. WHAT AN BEAUTY :shock: .. I'm just proud of it.... An handmade hydraulic handbrake that just looks damn nice also. After that i welded something on the handbrakebracket and put everything together.

http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...2005001844.jpg



After that the rollcage was scotched, cleaned with thinner and around midnight set in the EP.



The last friday I have to do verry verry much to be ready for the show on last saturday.

Off course do I know that. I look things hardly through, before I do something. That's why there are big gabs made in the handbrake-bracket so that the original handbrake-cables still can be used (on this handbrake) to go through the yearly safety-check (APK).

See this pic
http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...2005001227.jpg

Have I spooking with you? What for an bug do you have? (pic?)

Greetings Wiebrand
p.s. It was an long drive from Leende to Lelystad, buth it was worth all the positive reactions.
