Demon you could paint the intercooler the same green as the vehicle just watch the fins though.

*** Small update but lots of pics ***

Well its been one of those weeks really. Been waiting for some material to arrive so i can get on it but nothing has arrived yet Oh well, still had a chance to do a few things.

Started looking at the thottle pedal and how im going to do that. I have a Starlet pedal left over so decided to basterdise that and try and work something out. I think i can get it to work and will be loads better than what i have already. The starlet pedal has a proper bracket and spring so its a nice setup and i just need to work out cable attachment and some sort of rubber bump stop and should be well away.

started modifying it, cut down and piece added......

The bracket is a nice simple way to mount it to the frame and will work out perfectly.....

Found a small sheet of scrap steel and decided to make the rear numberplate brackets, decided on a shape for these ages ago so just knocked them out quickly. Will now be able to get these welded on the car with my old lexus plate so people will see it and actually realise that its going to be road legal!

Then today i got over to TGT and rolled the Demon outside for a mini photoshoot and to have a look at the welding on the intercooler system. James is a LEGEND!!!!!! The welding on the intercooler pipework is nothing short of epic, really want this done now. Rolling the thing outside was a good chance to look at it better and talk through a few things. Im really happy with how it looks but there is something i don't like about the rear??? If you look at the side on pics it don't look right and the rear pics look a bit strange? Almost like it needs some sort of HUGE rear wing or something? Maybe as it comes together more it will look better, if anyone fancies doing a photoshop with a rear wing/changes then please feel free as any idea's will help and give a good example of what i can do.

anyway, enough chat here are the pics................ Big Grin

Demon are you having two sets of wheels?

Like the mud guards

Thought the exhaust would look better facing down ward

Having 3 sets of wheels, 1 road, 1 track and 1 with chunky snow tires for fun when it snows :laugh:

I have the exhaust facing up like that as the tip has a bend in it, the tip comes off straight. It could be angled downwards more.......hmmmmmm need to get that in its correct position soon as the exhaust pipework is next item on the list.

Second seat was inside, was too lazy to go and grab it for the pics :laugh:

Should be ready for spraying about march/april next year. Need to get every little piece of fabrication done as i don't want to have to grind powdercoat off to add parts then redo the powdercoat Confused
