Finished up the rear wheel bearing install last night/this morning.






Installed the inner seal - then the companion flange.

They spin like a dream. Cross that off the list - One step closer to wheels on the ground.


I suppose it's time for yet another crack at the EFI system.


Stay tuned.

More parts arrived today. Couple odds and ends.

Differential mount stuff.




Lug nuts - gambled on the Gold. Not 100% sold on the color, I think I like it. Too soon to tell for sure, but either way they're staying for a while. For $113, yeah, they're staying. :laugh:

And some composites odds and ends.

Finished up the Console v2.0 mold. No more ash tray.



And made a widget - fuse box cover.

mold



part




Good, it'll work. That's good news, considering I sacrificed my cover to make the plug. Always a plus - replacement value




As always, I'm working....on something. :)

Minor updates. I made a set of half door panels for MY car.

Infused.



Popped.



Mounted. I NEED to see the car outside...Taking low light indoor pictures of this stuff is beyond tedious.

And a small look of the theme I've created for the interior.

Even with the janky #001 console, and gorrilla taped clamshell it looks decent. Once I build my dash, then that will REALLY complete the execution I'm shooting for.




Here are some awful pictures. But use your imagination, I think there's some potential here.









Console - not lined up - just mocked (I'll be making a new console soon, that's why it isn't bolted in yet.)






This is the first time I've been able to appreciate the interior work I've been doing behind the scenes as a build the car.

I'm very excited at what I know this will become. For a starting point, I'm quite happy.

I can work with this. Oh yes, I can work with this.

I have to send my ECU away and I don't expect it back for roughly two weeks.

So in the meantime.....I'm going to make my carbon fiber dash! *he says confidently* :laugh:


Two weeks. From plug to part. That's my tentative deadline. We'll see how that goes.


....So it begins....:)


Onto the pictures and process.


Starting out with essentially the worst plug in history. Literally falling apart in my hands.





Metal framework.
