You never asked for a passenger ride last time! and with the amount of clutch slip I had at Brands you would have fallen asleep! I did when Jeff had a go driving her! I have finished taking all bits off and am now putting (most) of them back on! Will send a pic later! Keep up the good work.
I might need one of those twin side exits if the DB is correct and I can find some clearance!

Sorry Ronnie, I didnt get as far as I wanted in fittting bits back on last weekend, and an empty engine bay albeit clean and a shiny looks, (frankly) sad!
Regarding Brands, I think if it was scary explosive quick then Jeff wouldnt have wanted a drive as he does scare easily. Ask him about the various incidents over the years 1: TVR Griffith Incident in Cambridge. 2. The Rallycross Incident in Germany! He wasnt in the car for the infamous 86th lap of Nurburgring where I also got it wrong!
No human or any car was even scratched in any of these incidents! but they were very close calls! (Jeff reads this thread!) I get my crank back today so will get on with it! You will (continue to) love it mate!

some good progress today,
got the painted inlet fitted along with my motorsport developments fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator
vac pipes are temporary until i get my new pipe.
also got my new oil cooler fitted
just need to make a bracket for my power steering cooler to bolt on as it is only bolted up at one end.
made sure it started up ok had one little fuel leak but was just a little nip up needed and all was good
fitted aerocatches to the bumper and got it fitted up and lined up properly
