making of veloc5 in my backyard

SOME PHOTOS #veloc5

This was the starting i had to paint the engine mounting to red 😜 motivation symbol red ? and by the the engine is a 800cc 3 cylinder one . you can see the gear shaft linkage connected to the shifter the conversion is going to be the shift linkage to the front as this vehicle is a mid engine 😕



Chassis

 This is the main spaceframe which adds the maximum intregity for the vehicle .traingulation has to be done. people may say "why a arc weld " this project was mainly to test my skills in designing and manufacturing a vehicle so this vehicle is pretty budget friendly . i had to learn arc welding techniques it was a tedious job hours of weld passes . the pipe which i used is pretty thin for a arc weld had to get the right angle, technique and amperage . phew!

 My colluegue just the base frame and the engine mounted still the suspension geometry has to be worked in my pc and give it life . we could dream our finished car 😄 theis place is my backyard quit a place to work with the nature 😝



Front pushrod setup !!

 My dream was to keep atleast the front with a pushrod mechanism if not the rear . there was clearance issues in providing pushrod mechanism to the rear because of the track width the donor vehicle axles provided, we wanted to keep the cost as low as possible otherwise we would have got a custom size drive axles for the rear .

Setting up the brackets for the rack and pinion steering .

The chassis standing on its own legs happy moment 😃

 This i had to check for the clearance of having a middle section for the gear shifter and seats .

 It was almost in a complete state still had to do the radiator , pedals cables , wiring cable management , seat mounts , floor panels , guards and some tweaks here and there. there are a alot of pics missing i will upload it soon guys 💪

 looks mean right i loved it with only the primer coat 💓

 The beast revved the hell out of it, I was pretty scared by the urge the vehicle accelerates the low end torque this motor gives is amazing 😤😤 I was pretty surprised by the performace because the vehicle wieghed mere 450kg 😆 it had great traction cos of its setup and dynamics ( i will post my short videos and more pics soon ). we will meet soon guys . thankyou
