Re: Project....Northern Soul
hi tor, stop worrying....it doesnt rain all the time, .....I actually had some bright sunny days out at our car shows!.....
...if you pointed a hosepipe at it, it probably wouldnt enter....and if it did go past the reverse flap it would go down the back of the vent rather than in the car!.......on the other hand if i used it to cross the English Channel....it might enter then!
are you referring to my Rover 2000 and speed in the same sentence?....or referring to cars going at speed in the oposite direction!!

Your'e making a great job. Keep posting it's very interesting to see how it's done, much better than my attempt.

Re: Project....Northern Soul
If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend a careful read of Simon Owen's project thread at this stage. He has a very neat mod for the rear door bottoms and D post to allow the sort of width wheels you are looking for. Best to sort that bit before you do too much welding to achieve the outer profile - which looks seriously interesting, by the way. I'm really looking forward to a longer view of the car. I'm sort of imagining a high victorian lady with a wasp waist and huge bum Really must do something about that imagination of mine!

Hi Ray, WOW ! I love your project, great to see more modified P6's and P5's .... excellent !
Some great engineering & the carbon fibre looks fantastic in the interior, will you keep it as a four pot or drop in V8? or maybe a modern engine perhaps, Ford Ztech or even a BMW six pot or V8, either way the car will look stunning & I'm all for makeing people look twice at a P6 , I get people asking me what mine is as I removed all but the V8 badges, lots of young people seem to love it, especially since I removed the middle box , sounds like a true V8 muscle car.
As for wide wheels well you've certainly beat me there in width LOL , Will follow this thread with great interest, a few pics my of 72 V8, if you get board then my thread is ' alloy wheels fitted, body work finished'
Keep up the great work mate, credit to you so far! oh love the carbon fibre rear pillar covers..brilliant 8)
Cheers Damian

That's weird, I saw those Transformer emblems on fleabay the other day. Can't recall what I was looking at to bring them up.

Re: Project....Northern Soul
I also worry about the Ph value of Phat being a bit high in the case of your car.
And I might rephrase myself: "...especially considering wind pressure when it rains and gusts at the same time? :roll: "
OK I think I'm gonna go now.
A bit late here: I worry about rain given where I live. You might say it's in my blood. Which is watery. Hence a morbid fascination.Northern Soul said:Tor said:
