No mate, I didnt do even 1% of what Stu did.

Fitted a cambelt and a few other engine bits, chatted a few things through with stu, drank tea, that was about my whole contribution.

To be fair though Chip... Stu REALLY didn't fancy fitting the Cambelt! they give him the willies apparently

Some pics... stus photography and his nerdberry are sadly not as good as his car building skills!

It looks SO wide at the front in that picture! I actually reckon the front track is wider than the rear with those different offset wheels on the rear!

Need to get the original ones back on the rear too!

What are you trying to say young man?

Stu, Chip, Lee, Zoe, Project manager, Mr Fox, everyone has done so so well with this car! i cannot get over how different it looks!! Should be absolutely amazing when it goes out on track, and i know Lee is more excited than gary glitter in a nursery school!

He cannot wait to get Yorik out!! Massive massive change and improvement to this car!





























Doesnt mean i like it though

Some other thanks to add that you forgot Lee.......

Sticker Paul for the bloody obvious
My Dad for the powder coating courier service (you owe him beer still)
Vulcan shotblasting in Basildon for some of the best powder coating ive seen and a 24 hour turnaround!!!!! AND CHEAP!!!
My nextdoor neighbour for being a consultant and beer drinking partner
Kevin at Pro Tech for the fastest turnaround ever on those custom built shocks!!!
Merlin motorsport for some very late in the day Friday orders that all made it here by Saturday morning!!
I would say Westfield sportscars but their parts service has been a bit hit and miss
Rally Design for lots of next day parts
ETB instruments for a VERY fast service and cracking deal!!!
Carbon Mods for supply and quick no quibble re-supply when we were not 100% happy!!!

Thats all I can think of for now!!!

I can't wait to take Yorik around the ring. I'm properly excited!! Jess likes the dancing bannana (smiley) and refuses to go in it after seeing the pics, she'll go with Maria in the porsche and talk about louboutin red soles constantly!!!!!!
