Just got my bell crank shifter from Zero Decibal Motorsports. Thanks, Craig! Now if I could just get my motor and transmission back, then I could start getting it all put together!
i just installed mine with the MR2 shifter set-up and it is nice - smooth and crisp motion
I am attempting to attach photos of getting the engine and transmission mounted in the car. This has been a big step for us in the build. It is so exciting for this thing to have a heart! Now we are just inching forward to the day that we can make it beat!
I have not been very good at posting to my build thread, but we have been slowly making progress. Thank you to all who have commented in answering my questions along the way! We have gotten our first start and a short drive around the neighborhood. Many of you know how exciting that is! And for those working to find out, it is awesome! I just thought I would post a couple of pics of the car trailered and on the way to the tuner. I can't believe how difficult it is to let it out of my sight!
It has been way too long since I have posted to this thread, but I have been slowly making progress on the 818! After some additions to the cockpit area for seat and harness mounting, the seats have found a permanent home! We have had it out to drive a little bit to check for leaks, etc, and all seems good. We set the body panels on the other day and I am now looking through threads to try and figure out the best way to make everything line up. It is fun to see even my wife get a little bit excited about this project now that it is "starting to look like a car!"818 Body Panels.jpg818 Front.jpg
We have been slowly plugging away at our project, but then when my daughter announced her engagement, my wife told me that she wanted the 818 to be finished for the "getaway car." I let her know that she was opening the door for me to disappear into the shop so we could meet our short time frame. Well, the wedding is this weekend, and we are all excited for how things have come together! Front Left.jpgFront Right.jpgFront.jpgRear.jpg
It is titled, licensed, insured, and in a few days, I will have a wedding over and be able to enjoy it!!!
Fantastic looking car! When you get time you need to fill in the bit between attaching the seats and having a finished/registered and painted ride! Congrats & congrats!

Love the color! Is it a wrap? What's the color name?
It is a 3M wrap called Matte Grey Aluminum. It looks bronze in some lights, like the pics above, but silver in sunlight. I am excited to get some good sunlight photos soon!

Yeah! I got so focused on getting it done that I got really bad at posting progress!��
Congratulations on both the wedding and demand to go to the garage!
Looks really great- got me thinking about wraps again... DIY or pro? Any comments in general on the wrap or process?
What a conflagration of good stuff: daughter's wedding, relegated to the garage and licensed!
We're looking forward to lots of pictures.
