We know the end result but there has to be a few good stories involving late nights with lots of redbull, bad language etc ......

The car is far from finished so this will thread will continue, an the car will evolve.
All the wiring an switch gear is temporary, as are the seats an some of the repairs.

I see the last pictures posted were 10 days before the event, the last. The last night of the build I took no pictures as we were too busy. I'll update it day by day anyway.

@Trev, we did make our unrealistic deadline.

No Redbull was consumed during the course of this build, just tea! Guy Martin is not the only one who knows the benefits of tea.

I couldn't believe it when I woke up on Sunday morning, fell out of the tent and Kvinyl asked me had I seen what arrived late last night (I'd turned in at 11.30 as I knew I had a lot of driving ahead of me the next day). Im sorry to have doubted you but I thought there was no hope of you ever making it there. Credit where its due, you guys got through a mountain of work and put in a spectacular performance on the day. I for one was very impressed. Well done to all involved :)

HUGE congrats to tsar for breaking (finally) into the 13's with a 13.9

He worked bloody hard to get that result today, in a car that still isnt setup properly, more work on the rear end to get it to actually launch and with the current engine would be a consistent mid 13 second car.

Well done mate, im well proud of ya.

Well a stock 1600 is a possibility, everything's up in the air right now. No time or money for toys but I do want to start a thread to try figure out what spec engines I need for my cars/projects so I can start gathering for 2015 Lol.

I must update this thread when I get a computer......
