SSS Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looks good cocker. My mate's in the process of doing a mk2 currently. Is this for road rallying or just your own pleasure. What engines going into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) That's really Nice work. It's even got room for the Carlos Fandango wide wheels. ( there used to be an advert on tv for hamlet cigars where a guy in an anglia had massive wide wheels. He drove through a gate and the wheels got jambed in between the gate posts and and the axle was ripped off ) on youtube Edited December 13, 2013 by fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonix Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looking good! Thought for a second at the thread title that it was a hatsan!! ;-) Honda s2000 engine would be wonderful in there! (I have a Honda s2000 as my daily, engine and gearbox is EPIC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I assume the Honda lump produces more power for less £££ than a BDA for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I will see if I still have the video of a MK2/Cosworth hillcimber at home, that sounded pretty sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looking good, one thing i have picked up on though is how the arches are fixed to the body - they look like they are rivited on? From previous expierience no matter what you do the rivet heads will show through the filler/primer/topcoat, they will not be obvious as soon as it is painted but give it a few weeks and they will appear as little circles. Are the arches ali or steel, if steel its well worth a few hours with the mig to do it properly the 1st time, if ali look at the 3M structural 2K adhesive for a good bond with no flex.

Scragrat Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Here are some pictures of my mates Mk2 with an S2000 engine fitted.

cocker3 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 To answer a few questions its getting the honda unit as it has more bhp as standard and is a screemer the arches havent been blended as ghats how the rally ones are fitted they have been two packed on and rivited and will be painted over directly no fillerwill be used they are alloy arches and dunkeld i wish the bda engine i wish but 4-5 k it just way to much for a good un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
