Petrolheads got some time to waste?

nicklouse

it is in Swedish but look at the post dates and the pictures.

Basically he is going to build a replica of this.



full size.

:shock:

PS if you use Chrome as your browser it will translate it fairly well for you.

man i wish i had all that time and money to waste :shock:

i also wish i could read what the hell is going on rather than just looking at the pictures!

Same here, but I can't read anyway. Being in Swedish makes no difference.
That does look awesome.

I hope that eventually I'll have enough time and money on my hands to build a fully custom off road buggy thing. Maybe when I retire. who knows.

Wow :shock:

Thats some serious shed time there. I am not worthy

If you use google chrome is will tell you the page is in swedish and would you like it translating.

Works ok.

February 14, 2008 23:55 Bentley EXP Speed 8 replica -20? Prevents plug
Then it's time to get started with my ex-job after 4års planning.
It will be a tube-chassis that will fit in a Bentley EXP Speed 8 body, but the body is a later worry.
The actual chassis is supposed to be ready until the 29th of May when I was reporting my ex-job. When the rest of the car is ready, I have no time exposed to, I do not want to rush with it and that I must get Lancian spirits and get through inspection before I make clear this car.
What I intend to use your car is running late Mods Port and possibly inspection of amateur built vehicles, so I may run it on the road.

Is there a race car manufacturers who see this and think that I would be especially beneficial to working with you, just let us know.


Something like this chassis will look like when finished.



A trial run of the Adam's Car is a two klasskompissar Erik (fetn) and Johan, who handles the majority of his ex-job

Here are a couple of FEM analysis, the first images are forces which will be run in the bottom of a bump and the second is to test the torsional rigidity.

What can it do for people who can't read though?

The welsh you mean ?

Sir HC

Does look good. Wonder how much power he's going to get from the twin turbo v8, cant see the welded driveshafts taking much abuse !

phoebian

That is something!

If knocking up the chassis and making it drivable wasn't impressive enough, he's then gone and built himself a cnc milling machine to mill the bodwork....in his garage

Stevo_666

There are some serious petrolheads in Sweden. Bloke I used to know moved up there when he bagged hiself a job as a Koeniggsegg test driver, lucky tw@t had a superb job. Then he put one in a ditch

nicklouse

he has got as far as making the body.
this is the plug to make the moulds

MountainMonster

That guy has an extremely good life.

Nuff said.

Gazlar

Trust those crazy swedes to come up with a flat pack car, I bet when he comes to finish it he'll be one bolt short and there will be a futon as a back seat

Dan Dare

What an awesome project, some amazing fabrication skills gone into it! 8)

submityournentries

i read the whole thread last time it popped up, when he had made the foam body and was about to do the mould. looks awesome now with the green

Tolk

That's amazing. Do you know the dimensions of it?

n.battison

Chrome FTW

That is bloody awesome. Wish I had a massive CNC milling machine, I could waste billets for no useful purpose far more efficiently with one of those.

Every man should have a CNC milling machine in his shed. Could have done with one myself this morning was trying to get a bearing out of a swinging arm didnt have quite the right size of press, with a CNC miller could have knocked one up in minutes. That would justify the £10,000 it cost for the miller

bennett_346

He's even drilling brake rotors :shock:

You can DIY one of those little far eastern ones like Machine Mart sell, gives a decent 2-axis machine for under a grand, for small work. I couldn't make the space for a proper one so I've got a tiny wee unimat but even that's been brilliant for stuff like you say. It's lovely, like a scale model lathe But it deflects a bit too much in milling mode.

Been looking at those Unimat machines which one have you got is it the red and black one and will it cut mild steel. This morning when I was surrounded by sockets, studding, washers, nuts bolts and blocks of wood I would have loved something that could have lathed down a tube to the right sizes then milled an angle off to go over the weld. Couldnt hit the thing too hard it was the tiny little bearing in the swinging arm that attaches to top rocker on a Giant Anthem X too fragile to be belting it with hammers and drifts

Mine is a proper antique, a 1960s SL1000. It'll cut mild steel in small passes but it's mainly limited by the chuck size and that the head is so close to the bed- you need a 20mm step-up to work with anything of any size and once it's fitted the entire thing gets a bit flexy. Still, I do like it, it's suitable for my awful machining skills.

Just found this site http://www.lathes.co.uk/unimat/ can feel my inner tool nerd twitching want one now

reckon mine will be done before his though.....

Yeah, that's the one- very common it says, I'm offended Still if you actually want to do any amount of work it makes sense to get something a bit more capable. It's nice to have and I do reckon it paid for itself just about the first time I used it (discovering at 1am the night before a show that new model GSXR forks don't fit in old model GSXR yokes without a tophat spacer) but it's not much more than a toy really.
