fraser meant to be coming today to do the wiring

kenny is working on the bells and brackets for the brakes

biggest hold up is going to be the engine that was meant to be ready last week which now won't be ready till end of next week that does leave much time to fit or order anything that may be required during installation

after seeing this car yesterday i wonder if people realise just how much work is left on this car the car is absolutley stunning in the flesh !

and its not only a case of bolting things togethere either - theres still lots of parts to make !

i bet you where glad when i went so you could get on with some work on it !

another thing that was noticed was just how light this car is, with a block and head and gearbox fitted to the car you can just lift the front end off the floor by hand ! - just hope there no cross winds andy !

anyway - no time to be posting pics - youve a lot of work to do before sunday next !
