well the car was picked up this morning at 10am from the garage it was at. looks as good as when i first seen it (except cleaner now its had a wash ) Cars been fully serviced so nothing else to do for now but drive it until i can get time and money to put the plans into action (hopefully next month sometime when im on leave)

drove it to the barracks where the usual ridiculing happened when a squaddie owns what looks like a hairdressers car, but then they also know the plans of the car so they were firmly told to "shut there mush" until the finished project is on the road, then the laughing will be done by me i think

Currently speaking to a m8 of mine up north who is breaking his FRST so im going to see how much the engine is going for, or at minumum the bottom end. Engine is completely standard except for induction kit and different sparkplugs & HT leads so i can have it built from scrath to my spec if i can get it from him for a decent price!

Other than that im hoping to get a few more bits and pieces for the Ka soon. Got my hands on a set of FRST front seats to be put in and also bought 4-point harnesses for both seats.

As for conversion, with my job being mostly driving between bases around the UK right now delivering everything from Rations to Challenger Tanks and Apache spares, i really dont have time to do the conversion myself as much as i would like to tho.....so it looks like it will be done by the proffesionals at a top end garage somewhere.

On the case of engine mounts, i was going to get in contact with ATM regarding sourcing 909 engine mounts for the Ka if they exist, but there is still a lot of parts to be sourced and the car is pretty much still in the development stages of the planning but it should be ready to be worked on soon enough.

Will try to get pics up ASAP when i actually buy a new Digital camera
