Hi all,
I just can't wait to get started on my build, but as I am still waiting for things, I thought I would start my build diary!
Story so far:
I have placed the order for my F430 kit and it's scheduled for delivery around the 22nd Sept, I have ordered the following:
1 x F430 kit, 1 x glass kit, 1 x fake engine and 2 seated kit, 1 x fake calipers/discs kit
I have struck a deal with a guy from Doncaster for a donor car, it's a pug 406 coupe 3.0L V6, the later "d9 210bhp version" 2001 with 88k on the clock and has full leather heater/power seats, cruise, sat nav, premium sound system and all the gizmos!
So now I just need to sell my BMW 330 convertible to help finance the deal, it's on eBay here if you are interested...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130575036998&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
Can't wait to get started and share the build with you guys....watch this space...

Let it begin!!
Here are the pics of my donor car, I will need to keep it running for a few weeks whilst I sell my BMW and then get a "runner" so I can get on with the build...
Seems too nice to chop! ;D

Still more to do, this took me 8.5 hours to get to this stage, that was doing things very steadily with no rushing.
More to come when I get a "day 2" !!

Looks like your ready to take out the glass. We get national windscreens to take the windscreen out. Costs £40 which is alot cheaper then buying a new windscreen though they can't garantee it would come out in one piece. They got ours out though without a hitch.

Grabbed another 2 hours the other night, managed the following:
remove the panel next to the accelerator
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/Day%202%20-%20stripdown/20111024_2100281.jpg)

-
Ahha!!
Excellent...thx Kevin.....

Today I plan to remove the rear quarter windows, door
cards, door windows and headlining.
Firstly, remove the seat belt securing nut. to do this
just pull off the adjuster handle with a tug....
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_095251.jpg)
This reveals the screw that secures the plastic cover
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_095314.jpg)
Plastic cover removed, the seat belt can now be
unbolted
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_095527.jpg)
Now remove the adjuster slider metal by removing the 2 bolts.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_095612.jpg)
This now reveals the 2 bolts that hold the rear quarter window on...
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_100403.jpg)
Remove these using a magnet to catch them, after this, the windows just comes off when the catch is removed
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_101207.jpg)
Door cards next..Remove this bolt
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_104118.jpg)
Then pull off the door handle surround
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_104206.jpg)
Remove this plug....
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_104243.jpg)
then remove this bolt...
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_104559.jpg)
and this one, then "pop" the door card off, then remove the inner rain shield from the door
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_104800.jpg)
You need to remove this bolt to remove the outer door trim, this then reveals a hole so that you can now remove the two glass rear securing bolts, after that remove the two glass front securing bolts from inside the door, you can now remove the glass.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_112244.jpg)
Then remove the passenger handle, coat hooks, interior lights and then the sun visors. A big tip, the two connectors on the left are for the visors, if you unplug these you will then be able to remove the sun visors without cutting the wires like I did :-(
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_145130.jpg)
Then remove the headlining....
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_144420.jpg)
I also then removed all the wiring and wire securing clips from the A pillars and the roof.
Thought I would just hang the door on like everyone does!! :-)
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%203%20-%20More%20Stripdown/20111030_131410.jpg)
Thats it for today......

More next time!!
-
hi phil you will have to cut more off your rear wings (old car) to get the new rear quarters to sit down. and the sub frame leg that holds up the rear quarters wont fit in the inner and outer skins.
on this photo the sub frame is in the place where extreme say to put it,
-
This is what happens if you do!
-
so moved mine...
-
and now looks like this ;D
-
this is how much more you need to cut off the back off the car...hope this helps..
-
great info Mag...I talked to Damian at Extreme and he says that you just hammer them in!!
I will decide when I come to dry fit....
-
Today I thought I would work on one of the doors and detail that for you guys....
Firstly disconnect the door inner lever
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%205%20-%20cutting%20the%20door/20111103_111648.jpg)
Pull off this pivot point and disconnect the arms
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%205%20-%20cutting%20the%20door/20111103_111700.jpg)
look inside the door and pop off this arm from the lock
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%205%20-%20cutting%20the%20door/20111103_111752-1.jpg)
A bit of bending will get this out of the door, you can then disconnect it from the door lever
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%205%20-%20cutting%20the%20door/20111103_112003-1.jpg)
Then undo the 2 bolts that hold the outer door handle on, you will then be able to remove the door lock by lightly prising the top part of this gold coloured piece from the handle assembly
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%205%20-%20cutting%20the%20door/20111103_120334.jpg)
Marking out the area around the handle to cut out

all marked up...notice the lower markings are made using the outer side of the hockey stick, whereas the top marking is from the inner part of the hockey stick

Roof cutting day and removal of the front seats!
Electric heated seats....what a lot of wires!!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111105_112728.jpg)
seats out, dash and carpet protected...I see many of these builds where they leave these uncovered and they end up looking a mess!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111105_132503.jpg)

B pillar cut, Question: how do you get the B pillar to line up exactly as it did before, as you have bent the roof, so the pillar
has a slight angle now? of does it matter? I have checked build threads and it looks like they have lined it up...how?
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111107_181728.jpg)
see here its now left of the main body slightly!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111107_181721.jpg)
A pillar cut, i noticed a small kink appearing just at the top of the lower cut after bending roof...it this correct?
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111107_181747.jpg)
A pillar cut.....do i remove all of the lower parts inner skin?
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111107_181838.jpg)
roof now cut.......just need to get measurements right before its fit to weld.....
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111107_181709.jpg)

Hi mate, Looking really good!! Before you weld those B pillars and the door extension piece make sure your lines running up through where the window will go are nice and even. It will make the fitting of the windows so much easier. I am completing someone elses car at the moment and this area isnt even so the angle grinder is going to have to come out to attack a painted car Arghhh! :o
I will get some pics up asap of what I mean.
Also whilst you have tha access make sure that impact bar comes out and the window runners goes in ok. Also (sorry for all the also's!!!) make sure the gap where the window comes out of at the top is even all the way along the top of the door when you weld it.
I have actually used a cable to operate my door handles. Im not saying there is anythign wrong with the extreme method, but any adjustments are very fiddly once its all together. I used a piece of accelerator cable inner and outer to transfer the movement of the handle to the lock mechanism. the outer is fixed to the meatl pug door near the handle then loops round and comes into the bottom of the door lock again where the outer is fixed to the metal door skin. This transfers all of the handle movement tot he lock and means you dont need to weld in the old pug handle or the levers etc.
I found the old repositioned door handle got in the way of the window movement and also the rods werent smoothly transferring the movement as they had too much slop.
Like I said I have been finishing part builds, so yours may be much better. Just thought I would mention this other option. (you do need to make sure water cant get in the cable sleeve once fitted though & that the cable is well oiled prior to fitting)
-
This is the area I was meaning about being even. If you look at the lip where the door/window rubber sits on, this gets narrower towards the bottom of the B pillar. If you leave it like this, the window gets pushed outwards from the bottom & you cant get it to close properly at the top.
(http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk373/drew3555/Tobys%20360/IMAG0757.jpg)
This is a pic of the door from the top. This door wasnt even (gap should be the same as the mirror end right along & all the work at the hockeystick end had to be cut out and re welded again. Not pretty once it has been painted!!
(http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk373/drew3555/Tobys%20360/IMAG0853.jpg)
Sorry didnt mean to hijack your build diary, looks like you are doing everything spot on so far, just thought I would let you know about a few pitfalls I have found that several builders have fallen into. Will shut up now!!
-
hey Drew...jump in whenever you like with great advice like that!!
Have you got any picks of how you cabled up the door handles, I was also thinking of using cable (having seen the DNA solution)..
Also (im doing it now!!) I had a question above about the B pillar being inline exactly with the body, I am talking about the bit circled...does it need to be exactly in line? if so, how, as, if I try to pull the bottom of the b pillar towards the back of the car, it wont budge!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%207%20roof%20Lowering/20111107_181728_2.jpg)

A pillar cut, i noticed a small kink appearing just at the top of the lower cut after bending roof...it this correct?
Did you prize the two spot welds apart at the bottem of the a-pillar. This should be done before bending of the roof. There located on the car behind the wing mirror suppport. When the roof is done this is then re-welded.
-
Yes I did, I used a chisel to split the join....if you push down on the roof, the surely that will make the cut off b pillar have a slight angle whatever you do?
-
Decided to remove the headlight housings today...be careful and remember to unbolt
the header tank mount before you cut the headlight housing away!! luckily, I didnt go
deep with the grinder so got away with it!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%208/20111113_150625.jpg)
Housing removed

On the otherside, I missed this wire, but its only to the bonnet catch for the
alarm?, anyway, its easily rejoined if needed.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%208/20111113_151633.jpg)
Now I will move the header tank...Battery removed
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%208/20111119_113551.jpg)
Header tank mounting supplied in the kit now fitted
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%208/20111119_114215.jpg)
Remove the top pipe and the electrics from the header tank
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%208/20111119_114717.jpg)
after unbolting, I can now get at the lower pipe easier....I will mount the header
tank later, as I need some rubber pipe to run to it which I havent got...
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%208/20111119_120132.jpg)
So...for inspiration again, I thought I would lay the kit on the car....

Bye bye for now....until next time!!

Thought I would have a go at the fuse box mounting tray, firstly, I marked a line
around it as so.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_105116.jpg)
I then cut round that line, effrectively cutting it in half!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_105712.jpg)
Lid still fits
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_105754.jpg)
Putting it back on.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_110727.jpg)
Lid back on, still no idea where to mount it! think I will just leave it behind the
header tank for now unless I see a better idea. This will mean wing/frontend removal
to change a fuse!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_110903.jpg)
Watching the video, Extreme say, "now mount the aircon onto the supplied header tank
bracket"! I couldnt get it anywhere near, so I removed the aircon mounting bracket and drilled a hole in the opposite end of it
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_111418.jpg)
Had to remove the old battery tray bracket to get the header tank in....
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_113030.jpg)
Header tank/aircon fitted and top pipe rerouted so that I can cut off the excess at
the join.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_114852.jpg)
Right wing now sits on the strut and the front bracket - all good, just need to
extend the washer filler to complete this side.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_121158.jpg)

Next, the doors...the middle piece of metal needs the "hump" flattening to get a good
fit for the "hockey stick"
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_134347.jpg)

door end cap now on, this doesnt go on as easy as it does in the video....the door
outer panel needs pulling in to meet the end cap...also, notice the "step in" just
below the door latch cutout...the drivers end cap doesnt have this??
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%209/20111127_145518.jpg)

This is looking from under the wing at the back of the loom plastic, the 2 round shapes are the bolts that are holding it on, the round hole has a tie-wrap to snip

Had to bend this arm with a hammer where the marks are...it rotated OK after this...will leave the last metal bar from the strut until I have the windscreen on..

Great tip thx for that

Guess what I had delivered today!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Exhaust/Exhaust1.jpg)
Not sure how I hook it up to my existing 406 exhaust system...or how I get the ports to work from a remote switch??
Anybody done this? with details/pics?
-
We've fitted a 430 exhaust to the one we're doing at the moment but havn't got it hooked up yet. The butterfly valves work on vacuum. Fitting the f430 exhaust itself, it needs to be hung on rubber hangers. Also i would section off the exhaust from the boot so its still on the outside of the car otherwise your exhaust would be inside the car. Ill update our build dairy soon and put up a photo of ours.
-
Sorry..could i just nip in and ask where you sourced your exhausts from please?..i've tried a couple of breakers and fleabay with no joy ??? cheers
-
it was on ebay....if you set up a search, then you get alerts when a new one appears!!

Weld the valves open, thats what i did following extremes recomendation!
-
A fellow builder may still have his 360 exhaust, he's building a scud and doesn't require it any more, he let me borrow it to assess one for my build but I choose to build my own system.
The vaccuum is used to provide a second stage non-restrictive bypass, try running the vac valves off the brake servo it may be strong enough to open them up at WOT, this will give the loud distinctive Ferrari sound as you put your foot down ;D
-
Hey that's great, let me know if the exhaust is available!
-
Did a little more work on the doors, I realised that I had welded the door handle on in slightly the wrong place, so I
cut it off and welded it back on correctly with the extreme mod plate bolted on.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/day%2011/20120121_145832.jpg)
door end cap fitted, the mos plate now doesnt catch on the cap anymore!

Decided its now time to get the professionals in to weld up my structural areas correctly, so I called on Auto Transformations (who are not far from me...).
They came to my garage and carried out the agreed welding (and more!!) to an excellent standard, this has now moved my project on many weeks in one weekend!!
BIG thanks goes out to the Auto Transformations lads!!
Here you can see them welding up my B pillar
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2012%20and%2013/20120128_103953.jpg)

Rear frame welded into place, the rear plates for the boot floor and back of car have not been done as I am having an original Ferrari exhaust installed and Auto T have come up with a great way of supporting the silencer at the rear, but they need the rear quarters on first to get it right, so that will be a job when auto T return to do more welding for me.
I am also hammerite blacking all the exposed metal to stop any rust when it gets covered with the panels.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2012%20and%2013/20120129_124317.jpg)

Front part of sill cut off and shortened and rewelded in place, this area will get undersealed, as this will be painted the car colour but hammerite would react with the paint.

had to push the car out so I could jet wash under the wheel arches, so as it was a nice day, thought I would lay the panles on her..

fitted the battery into the new underwing battery tray
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2014/20120218_140220.jpg)
it was a tight fit, but after a little work with the angle grider...it fit!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2014/20120218_140231.jpg)
looking from the front, just need to cover it with a black plastic sheet to protect from the elements and so that you cant see it through the front bumper air intakes!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2014/20120218_140243.jpg)

looking good phil, whats the next stage? was thinking about doing mine myself but thought it was best l send it up to kev in auto transmissions
top geezer isnt he? should get the car up to him in middle march :) :)
-
LOL!!
My next step is happening today and tomorrow....Kev is round at mine lining up the rear panels and fitting his special frame to house the Original Ferrari exhaust.....
-
The Auto-transformations lads have struck me again :-)!
I got them back this time to sort out the rear end panels and to create an original Ferrari exhaust mounting system, which they did!
Here you can see that they have moved the vertical box section that you would have been able to see through the rear grill....much better!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2015/20120225_093011.jpg)
Here is a closer look at the Original Ferrari exhaust mountings they have created, its the 2 pins sticking out on either side! They have also added extra strength with 2 extra box sections between the frame and the floor
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2015/20120225_093022.jpg)
So from behind....no vertical bars close to the grill!!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2015/20120225_093046.jpg)
had to do some more work on my end caps as the kit is ALL about getting the doors right! It seems a large gap between the end cap and door skin, but I cant get it any better. I have shaved off fibre glass where the end cap wraps around the hockey stick, but it still has this gap. Also, the very top of the end cap is odd! I will need to cut this off level with the door skin lip.

This is drivers side...MUCH better fit!!

Spend nearly all day just messing with these...:-(

I wouldn't worry to much about the gap, as long as your doors line up with the other panels then you will be fine. Once in position I would just use some stikaflex 221 to fill the gap around, smooth off with the finger and dont use any filler. You can paint over the stikaflex fine. This way you wont get any cracking on your doors.

I'v emailed you phil

Here's my door gap and it turned out just fine:-

We actually got it better then that before we bonded it.

Hi fella,
Just seen your update on Madmechanics.. I would always try and remove metal to metal contact from your exhaust and body.. the vibrations will get transmitted through the whole car.
Take a look at bobbins. Halfords sell them at the back were you can buy bolts and bits. They are used in mini's to go between the exhaust and are only a couple of quid. I've used these on my murci exhaust.

hope this helps :-)

got mine from ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180688982508?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3692.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D180688982508%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1
good quality and 10mm thread, they support the whole back exhaust
Although looking at the picture it looks like you've got rubber hangers
-
The system we have done for phils exhaust is the same as the one in our workshop and does eliminate metal to metal contact as the exhaust is hung on rubber exhaust hangers.
See ours below

I am now just waiting on the return of the drive shafts.I do have to say that the driveshaft extension pieces supplied from
Extreme were too slack to be fitted into the driveshafts and would not have been a tight enough fit. to this end, I am having
new extensions made to more exact dimensions for a more perfect fit as these are CRITICAL to the handling of the car. When I
get these back fitted I will post more pics of the front end suspension mods.
-
Here are my driveshafts after being modded, top one is ready for painting, bottom one is painted
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2019/20120329_191515.jpg)
This is the new Extreme top mount fitted NOTE!! I have since been told that this is wrong, the bearing should be towards the outside of the car (to the bottom of this pic), its simple enough to spin it round and remove a part of the hole for the bearing to sit in.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2019/20120331_130354.jpg)
wheel hub back on, this also shows the modified wishbone and driveshaft refitted

disk and caliper back on...yes, i am refitting my old disks at this time, I will replace all four before I finish!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2019/20120331_171157.jpg)

wheel now on the ground!
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l488/phils999/F430%20build%20-%20donor%20car/Day%2019/20120403_194117.jpg)
I have now sent her off to Auto Transformations for bodying up and spraying. This is due to the fact that I didnt have enough confidence to attempt the bodywork myself and, as I have invested a lot of money in this, wanted it to look as close to perfect as possible, I wouldnt be able to do that! I hope to get pics from them as they move the build forward and I will post them here for you guys to see.

Looking good fair play :)
