Peakeys Procat thread
 
Well I purchased it at the start of march an after a few emails to Australia post and 4 phone calls to Royal Mail and parcel force I found it. It was in the depo round the corner so I went in and paid my £71.31 import tax :thumbdown::mad: and got it.

It's full of WASP racing bits alloy front diff alloy top deck alloy internal motor housing MMS front and rear diffs and not sure what else am I'm still at work.
If I say I'm more than happy would be an understatement :thumbsup:

So now by the looks of things I now have a mms front and rear diffs and layshaft surplus to requirements if anyone is looking for one I'm open to offers. And I'm after Some alloy bearing housings if anyone has any they don't want :thumbsup:

Very nice mate :thumbsup:
I'd almost say it's as nice as my Ultima :p:D

Peakey 04-04-2014 02:04 PM

That's just the start I've only took it out the box give me chance to strip it and put a couple of bits on and you'll love it trust me :p

Sleek looking car, congrats on getting it to you in this condition.

God I wish they made buggies this gorgeous these days, cos let's be honest chaps, they don't. Bleedin' forward cab rubbish.
This paintjob on this shell is simply stunning!

Peakey 04-04-2014 08:05 PM

Thanks for the nice comments guys as soon as i saw it I just had to have it and nearly a month later and it's here in all it's glory. It's even better in the flesh the shell could do with freshening up so I might get another done the same but I'll see about that there's a bit to do before that

xfactor 04-04-2014 08:20 PM

Whats your plan, hope you will strip it and polish it and show us all along the way........:thumbsup:

Crashtest33 04-04-2014 08:21 PM

Btw, what is it? Bosscat, procat?

xfactor 04-04-2014 08:23 PM

Looks like a pro-cat to me............;)

Peakey 04-04-2014 08:33 PM

It's a Procat and the plan is to strip it rebuild it and then thrash the living daylights out of it :thumbsup:

And yes mark there will be photos you can be sure of that

xfactor 04-04-2014 09:14 PM

You have pm pal :thumbsup:

daz75 04-04-2014 10:20 PM

Definitely got 3 of the WASP things, but it's at the bottom of loads of other stuff so only 2 pictured

It actually says on the front, Polished Alloy Bearing Housings for Layshaft on all XL and Procat Part No WAS7890, not sure if this is what you meant.

Other stuff is from MMS, was with all the other schumacher stuff i pulled out of my dads garage, so assume it's Schumacher related, if you know what it is let me know. 3 x T9 and 1 x TM2

Now that is very-very nice - certainly worth the wait!! All those lovely period aftermarket parts too! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses & how you get on running this bad-boy!!

Peakey 04-04-2014 11:15 PM

Well the MMS bits are replacements parts for the diffs I'm assuming front and rears and I've not seen bearing housings like that for a very long time pal very nice. As for the what looks like shock tower I'm not sure what that's off but I bet someone will

CAT3K 05-04-2014 07:54 AM

Nice Procat :) Looks like a mix of MMS, Wasp and GPM alloy parts.

Peakey 05-04-2014 08:50 AM

Thanks Paul I can't wait to pull it apart and see what it's made of

Peakey 06-04-2014 03:49 PM

So the car is now in bits and I'm rebuilding the mms diffs 1 how much diff lube is too much and how tight shell I do them up help please.
