LP420 SVM Urraco aka the Twice Baked Bull

Yes that's it. I was out of town no pc and my phone does not copy links. THANK you for posting the correct link. She's out of tune and time but fired up!

 

Here is the first fire up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqt2XdXIcsg

 

BTW I am selling www.Urraco.com

 

We are about to hit 700,000 likes / fans on Face Book! I so hope to at least drive it once before we hit 1m likes LOL https://www.facebook.com/LamborghiniLp420SvmUrraco

 

When the motor jumped time on the first fire up it was due to the builder not correctly putting the belt in and not properly locking it down. FORTUNATELY he was so bad that when it jumped time it stopped before any valves were taken out. Compression check has one bank advanced too far and one bank retarded. So we decided to lock down the belt order the proper tools for doing the timing but needed to check if our thoughts were correct before we pulled the motor and the heads. If we were right cool if not the damage would have already been done so no harm in setting the time as best we could and do a compression check then a test fire. We were correct and the motor fired right up. Next we time and tune!

Update..
Danny Huseman's racing has will be un-doing the entire front end of the Lp420 SVM Urraco. And installing a proper front suspension.

Ted's Rod Shop is bidding out re-re-doing the front and rear bumpers and going to a better headlight solution.

ABD Racing Werks is prepping the motor.

In other words most things Alan Lee designed will be chucked...

Work is contracted away we go once more..

 

UPDATE:
Frank Killam (BMW Design Works)
and an up and coming designer from Pasadena Collage of Design, "Gaston" are taking what was done to the car by Alan Lee, and fixing it..

First to go round butt.. Urraco tail lights have been secured.
Next to go the ugly chin
Then the Miura headlights back to pop ups.
Cleaning up the lines.
I will post the artwork soon..

New Trans on the way (Alan built the one in the car we have zero trust in it)
Work has re-started..

 

The good part is the rear clip and chin are easy to unbolt and replace. Lesson learned never trust a guy who does not use his real name..

And away we go... Once more into the breach..

Rear end removed so the re-re-make can start.


Cut Line for the front end,


Old 928 L@@king butt be gone


More UGLY going away


Front, headlights and rear off


Front ready for removal.

 

Frank is a true artist he just retired from BMW Design works.

 

We have two more concept artists chiming in one works for Lamborghini

 

Alan Lee (he does not use his real name) took me for a very expensive ride... The suspension he built into the car would have never worked, motor was mounted wrong and drive axles would not have lived at any speed. Body work was also bad..

So we had to have the suspension re-done. To fix the rear clip it is cheaper to build a new rear end. Same with the front, the "Miura" like headlamps and pop ups he made would have never worked either.. The wiring he did was a fire hazard in the making but it too would have never worked.. The brakes he used both SAE and metric fittings and one banjo bolt was not even a banjo bolt. He used an ABS unit off an A8 you know what would have happened to a rear wheel drive lite car set for a much heavier 4 door quatro? Yes failure.. Unsafe if you could get it to run and even unsafer to try and stop it.

The motor he build hand gernraded on first test.. The trans he build we have zero trust in.. So we are replacing it now so there is no issue.

That said, we re-wired the car all new.
Motor is re-built
New trans on the way with better gear ratios and a better diff!
With the dumping of the lower front clip and going back to POP up Urraco lights, I decided to go 180 and have new art done so we can make it more Urraco like I wanted in the first place not so much 928 looking. Even found a new old stock set of Urraco tailights.

Ted's Rod shop has the car we have a budget I can live with to get it done.
Yes I am looking for sponsors for wheels and tires and paint but even if I do not get any we will push this one done. Gone too far to turn back, not far enough to have a lawn artwork so we move forward.

Now a little departure Danny Huseman (Huseman's racing) wants the body of the front end removed so he can construct the front suspension more like a race car and drop the body / hood on it. so teds is removing the body now. So when Danny gets the car in March he can knock it out. He already has the measurements and how he wants to do it. its just a matter of getting his shop time. The cut line for the body is just in front of the windshield so it will not show much but will make front end servicing very easy.

 

Agreed... Its what I wanted and Alan did his own thing..
