Looking good. You may want to fit the clutch cable to the pedal assembly now. Check to see if you have to clearance the pedal box area some. I had to on my last 3 builds with the new style quadrant unit. Just push the pedal all the way down with the cable in place to check for clearance.

Looks like you are off to a great start Roman!

Thank you guys!
wallace18, I think you talking about this clearance?
Maybe some can share picture of this part of cable setup, not much info in the book..

Might want to lube that cable up with some teflon or similar. I know mine squeaked for awhile before I did once the heat gets to it and drys it up a bit. Also, if you're going to go kart it for an extended period of time, a firewall brace for the upper left corner isn't a bad idea if you can fab one up. The body eventually holds the firewall in place but there is still some flex even with the body on. The xxr's are going to look sweet! Take special note to where they tell you mount the brake resevoirs. Not sure if they've changed the manual but the first revisions had people mounting the res way too high. You've only got a 1/4" or so above the firewall itself before it hits the body.

Floor panels marked, but not drilled yet. I cut side panels as everyone recommended, definitely much easier to work now!
This is my two weeks progress. Yesterday received package from FFR with missing front suspension parts, monday powdercoat day.
Will try to put her on wheels next week..

Hey Roman, those wheels/tires look great - I've decided not to go the R888 route, but I'm curious what size wheel/tire you have there?

Glad to see you back on the forum, Roman.
Just curious: what shop are you using to do the bodywork?
