Long time no update! Don't worry, it isn't gone, I'm still working on it!
Shame all the pictures have disappeared, I'll have to try and sort that.
A year ago I'd just finished modifying the gear linkage. Then a little unexpectedly I took on another project. Long story short, my girlfriend and I had been talking about converting a van to a camper. Due to limited funds our choice of vans were very limited. Until my boss happened to mention that the trusty old MK5 LWB transit wouldn't be going for it's next MOT, but straight to the scrap yard. This got us thinking, and a few days later it was parked on my driveway, next to the Quantum!
What I initially thought would be 4-6 weeks of welding, turned into a massive job which took about 5 months. And that was just to make it solid again! We've now started building the interior and actually took it to the Brecon beacons for our anniversary before christmas.
A few pictures to show what I've been up to:
fabricated New rear outriggers and leaf spring hangers, chassis rail repairs, new front inner wings, arches, sills, driver step outer panels etc...a lot of work!! And we fitted a mini log burner!
For anyone who's interested, check out @moose_in_transit on instagram to check out our progress.

But now the Quantum has my full attention. I've made a start on the fuel system, and the ECU purchasing is in progress. I'm hoping to drive it to Stoneleigh kitcar show this year...if i don't drive it there I'll trailer it!!
Lots more updates to follow
