Fixed the brake lines, had to Reflare all them all. Allso mounted the driver seat. Drove it about a mile ran pretty smooth until I get on it. It wants to fall on its face so I gotta figure that out.

Very cool project.

Howd i miss this haha dope project

 

[HedTrip]

Well got it running a lil better, Finished all the light wiring, Installed a Driver Side seat belt, wired up the fan, & installed the passenger seat.
I drove it home from murf to antioch about 15 miles without any major issues. the car is still a lil boggy & have to figure some things out to get it running smoother. She rides surprisingly good for it being a hand built shoe box.

I still have to wire up all the gauges & do alot of cosmetic things to her.

ppl sale there failed projects all the time on locostusa.com

Today after work i replaced the plug wires, tryed some sea foam, injector cleaner & 93 octane, She is allready driving a crap ton better.

 

[Rx7 Vinnie]

I'll just buy yours and make it center drive.....new shit for 2014.

Got to weight the car again & she came out to 1345 lbs with around 6 or 7 gallons of fuel. Before the rebuild it was 1398 lbs with 2 gallons so she's lost a lil weight.

my new wind deflector came in the other day but haven't had the chance to install it.

Holly crap that is light

 

[HedTrip]

Yep. The Caterham 620r weights even lighter at 1200lbs & the Ariel atom is around 1350 so I'm happy with those #s now I just got to bump up the power but that might be next year I've already spent enough money.

This thing makes me cry... really ,the wind in your face brings tears.

Needs a ls swap lol but that car looks like a lot of fun and is a head turner

 

[HedTrip]

Don't be a puss glen lol
There are Ppl that have put ls swaps in them But I'd rather keep it some what drivable ha.

Another fact to put the light weight Into perspective is the smart car is 1750 lbs & the convertible is 1800lbs. Alot heavier than I thought it would be.

 

[FNEG]

All those batteries.

 

[HedTrip]

A few small updates:
painted the valve cover & replaced the gasket.
new oil cap & dip stick
Installed center rear view mirror
Installed my new Aero Dynamix Wind deflector
& renewed my tags today.

I still have alot cosmetic things to do.
paint, fenders, Dash, trunk cover, Gauges, roll bar.
