NIKE 55's G46 BUILD...
I am starting this thread and I assume Nigel will continue it....
We have finally started this car ! Big apology publicly to Nigel for the delays ...I got sidetracked by the Cordite projects and he has been very patient... Last week we did this to Nigels running , driving , driven down to us Scimitar ! http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...k/DSC02213.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...k/DSC02215.jpg now work begins with a bit of welding , some tidying up and then the fitment of his body , framework etc... |
Wow, it already looks like a drag strip pick-up.

Thanks for the photos Gary, when I saw them my first thoughts were 'Oh my god what I have done!!' but now looking forward to putting 8 months of thought / ideas / comments from this forum / car shows / historical photos into context over the next few months / years? :bounce: |
loads of photos please. my car is almost in the same state at the moment. I just need to sort the brakes, electrics and get the engine running. I will be using this thread as a reference guide.

Is the donar se5 or se5a donar?
The heater bulkheads are different.
Maybe a photo in that area would help Cheers HM |

Once I get back down to Poole with my trusty Canon will try and post a better photo, in the meantime this is what an SE5 engine bay looks like before surgery....

There should of course be an obligatory 'before and after' photo of the vehicle being converted: so here goes:-
Attachment 659 Attachment 660 (...and a shot of the loon that owns it in a flying helmet sitting amongst the wreckage of a once complete vehicle - that's not going to happen on this thread...!) |

Nice registration number. Decent looking donor too.

Looks like the. Rear chasis is missing, but the petrol filler moulding retained.
Chairman tech have you dumped the rear chasis section also? Hm:spy: |

I presume a bolt on bumper/tow bar rail does not count as chasis in the same wayt the front bumper bracketry is not required?
Hm |

The reg number stayed with the owner as he wanted £3k for it .. I rcv'd a less interesting reg number with the vehicle but I will be going for a non prefix / suffix number eventually. |

The only bit(s) missing were the rear wiper / washer and the faired over 'grills' in the rear quarter panels. (I've no idea why....perhaps with the green stripes it was a go-faster mod.....) |

....well not until I get Gary to bond the new body to the Scimitar! |
Still waiting to see a finished G46... Any progress?

I understand that there are positive developments within the Sammio organisation regarding G46 model type production which I am currently unable to comment upon. I guess I should set down my G46 philosophy somewhere. |
Ahh, a mission statement. Where would we be without mission statements?
|
Objectives, Appraisals, Town hall meetings, Open Forum, Client Feedback, SLA's, KPI's, Customer Focus Groups, Continuous Professional Development...
- anything to get in the way of the supply of the core product and to keep the HR and accountancy empires employed. I think I read somewhere (so unsure if it's true) that during Henry Ford's tenure he employed no accountants and that no internal audits were ever undertaken. ...feels so good I've left those behind. |

I'm still alive, therefore it was safe. |
