Cool stuff mate. Looks like it's gonna be one hell of a car. Can't wait to see it finished :D

 

The pictures are a fine size for the forum btw, so no need to worry ;)

[HavockJoker]

Wow that is really amazing. You have anymore??

[Guest ShiZzl3]

Should put a LS7 Engine in it, it would own then

[Tool831]

Simply not possible, Its not a show car at all, plus.. You gotta think this is a VW with a 1600-S Gear box & for a motor to fit it needs a adapter plate also the motor is located in the rear with very minimum space, you gotta fit the radiator and oil cooler, they take up alot of room already. Oh and all car registration places have stricked registration rules..

 

Btw we ain't rich or made of money. :)

@KingSkyline: Yes, i do have more except they are just different angles etc.

:eek: Wires!

 

Looks like a very good project, I hope it works out for you :-)

[The Queen]

Looks amazing and i'm sure I have seen a car like this somewhere before :p

[Tool831]

We now have the motor now, its been cleaned up abit. Some parts will be spray painted and have new chrome caps etc. So it will look new again. For a used motor we tested it before we brought it, so it runs very smooth which was a surprise.

Love the front of the car. Looks very menacing and looks like both of you have done a great job. Can't wait to see pictures of it up and running :D

[Baltoman]

Wow, you guys are building a supercar. Im planing in making one too, but its only on the papers.

[Tool831]

How Embarrising but i just relised the title for this thread and how ive been spelling purivs its meant to be 'Purvis'. Stupid me... I cant change the title but if a mod can fix it i would appreciate it.

Anyways little update: We are now looking at a adapter plate, which goes between the gearbox and motor to be bolted on.

[The Queen]

Hehe. I did see something strange with the thread title but didn't mention it.

Updates are sounding good. Good luck with the car ;)

[Baltoman]

Me wantz tu see moore pics plzz

[Tool831]

More pictures will be up soon, except we haven't done much that require a picture update.

[Loz]

I remember seeing an Eureka at a Car Show i went to earlier this year. It was called a Nova here.

:D We finally got the Adapter plate, pressure plate, Clutch plate. Body is back on but needs to be taken off later on. Fuel tank fits, rear scoop is now fiberglasses on. Next the fuel take needs to be pressure tested, radiator is next to fit in and we need to do measurements etc before. :)
