Project loon

[@thatredastra]

Hello to all on hear, just like to introduce myself to your great forum I'm currently building a saloon street/strip drag car this use to be Ben21 old car as I seen on here.
I will try my best to keep it updated and pictures as progress happens.
So il post pictures and a few lines under them as I go along and get use to posting.
This is as i bought the car as a roller.

First job was to gut the car in readiness for new chrome molly cage that will be tagged to 7.50 spec for dragracing with a funny car cage for added safety.

Next stage was to get the cage fabrication work sorted out.

Cage is all done in Chrome molly and its speced to 7.50 this is for my own safety as dont ever see the car running that quick.

 

[@thatredastra]

Got rid of the nasty looking vauxhall column and had a new set up made so at least the steering wheel is facing you head on and not off set.

So why the loon was away having the cage all done I used my 5 door hatch as a template for work to move forward with JNR Fabrication doing the exhaust manifold and custom inlet and inter cooler along with other stuff that needs fabing

As iv seen so many manifold crack in between the collectors I opted for a one piece billet collector to eliminate this issue.

Mock up of the turbo with twin gates before fully welding the manifold.
