Two Go Mad In The Garage

How two numpties try to build a Westfield kit car.

A/S Levels finished, back is better!





It seems like weeks since we have done any work, and in fact there has probably only been a total of about 15 man woman hours in the last 2 and a half months.

Tim did his back in and working on the car was not really an option, Chrissy had A/S level exams which are now over, so we are back...

Over the intervening period we have done various bits and bobs including fitting the radiator for the fifth time having solved the problem of the radiator overflow...a different tap worked.

Here you can see Chrissy refitting it.


We have also finally fitted the throttle stop bolt. I found it needed to be 75mm in length, and that

the 65mm one sent by Westfield would never work. I bought some 100mm ones from ebay and cut them down to get the right size, it's really hard to measure accurately in there so I just did a couple until I got the right size....







We have also mounted the ecu, relays and the monitor cable on to the ecu plate and fitted that to the car...you can see that work in progress on the photo below.



Then Tim got fed up with never finding any of the growing collection of tools in the garage, so while Chrissy was taking her exams (given we have an agreement that we are building the car together) Tim felt old age coming on and was compelled to put up some wall boards for mounting many of the tools on.....how sad is that!
