Well as we still don't have a completion date on the house a bit more progress has been made on the buggy
Again i need to say a big thankyou to Paul from my work as he has been awesome and has continued working away like a machine and is down in the workshop every lunch time to work on the buggy.
He has almost finished off adding the foam to the ply templates and i now only have to make a few more parts and its on to the long job of filling, sanding, filling, sanding etc........

This won't be the final shape but is just the template, after i have fibreglassed the mould i can shape the ends better.
We then started working on finishing off the handbrake. First thing to do was to remove 2 of the fillet triangles as they where in the way, they will be replaced later in a slightly differnt place.
![[Image: DSC02342.jpg]](http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad42/demon_buggy/buggy/DSC02342.jpg)
Cables where then roughly routed from the calipers to the handbrake lever......
![[Image: DSC02344.jpg]](http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad42/demon_buggy/buggy/DSC02344.jpg)
Space is going to be really tight around that area as most of the wiring all goes down the middle part.
Then had to work out how to make and mount the bracket that holds the gear cables in place, luckily the gearbox is just in the right position and there are a few bolt holes spare so i made a bracket that mounts directly to it.
![[Image: DSC02346.jpg]](http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad42/demon_buggy/buggy/DSC02346.jpg)
Handebrake cables are now nice and secure. We connected it all up and after a small modification to the handbrake lever its all done and in place.
![[Image: DSC02294.jpg]](http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad42/demon_buggy/buggy/DSC02294.jpg)
Just need to add a few clips to the back to hold the cables in place and its there.
Then turned attention to sorting out the rear camber, the camber adjusters where maxed out and the camber was still shockingly bad. So took the adjusters off the back and modified then slightly so that they can now be adjusted to get the camber spot on.
Don't really have any pictures before we modified it but here's what it looks like now, its just been done by eye at the moment but will be setup properly later on.

Then decided to look at mounting the air filter. Was going to just have the filter come straight out the side of the frame but don't think Vosa will like that and it would be in front of the rear wheel so would get covered in **** when driving about. Decided to push it back ever so slightly but it means the side scoop will feed cool air directly onto it.
Welded bracket directly to the frame, turbo can be seen in the background, still need some sort of humped hose to go over the oil filter but its getting there.

with the filter added.......

air scoop feeds directly onto it.........
![[Image: DSC02360.jpg]](http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad42/demon_buggy/buggy/DSC02360.jpg)
And thats it for the moment, well sort of, been sorting a few other parts out. Got a huge tub of bodyfiller on the way to start filling out the nose cone shape. Going to take ages to sort out but worth it in the end.
Then im also in the process of getting the driveshafts made, whoop whoop! Have a contact from 16v mini forum and have confirmed he can make them. Just need to measure up and clean them up slightly and then they are getting sent off to be made
Will be good to have this done as it means im that little bit closer to the finish line. Will probably get them cryo treated so they are a bit stronger Well thats it for the moment........... more coming soon
