some more pics from the forum build thread ..



Took the chance of the nice weather to roll the thing out into the sunshine and take some pictures , first time i have seen the Whole car outside for a few months ,so was good to see if the latest work has blended in ok ..














































Sam , its a taxi chassis  fairway driver of 1995 vintage , bought from the local scrappy for 100 quid ,then two jag 6's mated and inserted ,then a body made out of scrap and one 8 x 4 sheet of ally  .all by me .the pipes are honda fireblade Ti headers ,sleeved onto stainless stubs ,it does run and i have driven it , utube has some vids under MEDUSA i think .

Thank you Joe , it was a fun ,slightly fraught day .the gearbox is in between two prop shafts ,with all the flywheel clutch etc in the box , mounted on a steel plate and a wheel hub bearing ,in a homemade carrier ,so i was not sure what might fly out ..hence the leathers .

Truly a work of art I love the brass gauges as well. Well done!

Thank you Cb750 , i made the headers out of old titanium honda fireblade headers , got one set, complete exhaust, for a fiver off ebay , ,only problem is they had to sleeved to the stainless tubes , which incidentally are made from toothpaste factory 3 inch stainless with all the nuts cut off and welded edge to edge ,hen smoothed down .


should be interesting to see how much it all colours after driving it a bit .
