Keep em coming mate.
I've been put back a couple of weeks on all my projects, as 200kg landed on my foot on tuesday, but still hoping to have the mk1 done for summer.
But i bought a camaro a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out it comes with a private plate worth £1000, so its not all doom and gloom.

Are the front arches not wider than the rear ones? Or is it just the pictures that make them look like that...
What clutch/flywheel are you using?
