Good progress and of course there is a part of me that laments my turning away from an IROC build. Great colour choice too. But if your build is complete before I choose a colour I will be forever shamed so slows the hell down would you? Only fair to give you some notice @Pork Chops , painting the body Karminrot was meant to start this week, but i have given you an extra week or two as i have decided to paint the frunk and engine bay while I’m at it.... ...so you have an extra two weeks to pick a colour. Glad i could help Welding up all the holes to make the firewall capable of doing its job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 12February, 2018 Report Share Posted 12February, 2018 ^ the bad news is my car is actually finished and I’m just throwing the odd post out there to keep the masses entertained and in suspense. But good luck with finishing your project it looks like a rippa . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch-monkey Posted 25September, 2018 Report Share Posted 25September, 2018 That raised shifter looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted 25September, 2018 Report Share Posted 25September, 2018 Coming along really well Darien. Just read the whole thread on Pelican. Should be quite a thing. And it seems that we have quite separately fitted the same rockers. I like your style Mine is currently getting a birthday. Plan to be back at rally Adelaide. Hopefully see you then. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 25September, 2018 Report Share Posted 25September, 2018 Ooh a Hargett shifter! Good choice, yet just incase, I would have a spare selector rod (that the gear lever attaches to) made up, as they're very weak in the centre. I just had one made for mine that broke far too easily Love the handbrake too. Are you planning on doing some drifting mate? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted 25September, 2018 Report Share Posted 25September, 2018 Would have loved a Hargett but they are currently unavailable. Went down the raised shift tunnel and rennshift option instead. Shifter position and static feel of the rennshift seems really good. Yet to actually drive it. Interested to hear what you think of the Hargett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to hear what you think of the Hargett I emailed Dean Hargett about getting a new shift rod made, and he told me they're not making them anymore. I was hoping to have my car back this or next week to fit my Hargett, yet that's been put off by a couple of weeks now. I have test fitted it, And the gearknob sits about 150mm or less from the steering wheel, And it also requires either taking all the slack out of the handbrake cables, redesigning it like Dariens above, or don't use the handbrake! I'm going to see if I can lengthen the handbrake lever somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted 25September, 2018 Report Share Posted 25September, 2018 That’s no good re product support. So you are left to get your own fabricated? Hydraulic handbrake is possibly an alternative if integrating the cable one is problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully see you then. Did you get the A.I.R. winged rockers as well... saw the hydro go in, then the raised rear suspension mounts! Ill try and make time to for another look at your car at AMF. My car should be back by December, hopefully!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydraulic handbrake is possibly an alternative if integrating the cable one is problematic. Unfortunately yes, zero parts back up. Cost me $270 to have a small rod made by an engineering shop as the original was too thin to weld. They have beefed it up a bit, yet weren't very complimentary about the original design. If anyone has a Hargett, I would check for cracks on the selector rod that attaches to the gear lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
