More pics from the last build day

Thought I'd add a few extra pics I had from yesterday. I mean, how can't I post another picture of our awesome seat? I am a little confused with how we're supposed to connect the back bracket piece to the seat that connects to the cage... Next we'll start cutting out some of the door, and that huge side impact bar.

Here's the box of parts we pulled to shed another 10lbs.


Like Soren said, hopefully we didn't take out any we need, because as you can see below, it gets a wee bit confusing. But the engine and ABS modules are still there, so that's all we should need, right?


Here's a picture of the new belt routing that Soren mentioned. With taking out the AC compressor, and bypassing the location for the hydraulic fan pump, we'll need a shorter belt, but should still have sufficient wrap on all the needed pulley's and accessory drives. Time to mark it, measure it and head to the parts store.

Had to show this grossness also. Mixing hydraulic fluid, coolant and oil looks a bit strange. I bet it'll kill some grass in the backyard too...

And one final picture, an action shot of Soren approaching ludris speed. As you can see, he hasn't quite gone plaid yet.

Next up, the big bending weekend in about a month. Gotta finish making the bender from the plans I got from Takacs Cycles. Should get a post together on how that goes once the steel shows up. Until then...
