Following this thread with interest 
You've made the correct choice sorting the front IMO save you more work in the long run
Very cool car in the making

OMG What have you done now!!!!
I see why you have done it. Do you still reckon it will be done by April. I'm aiming to have mine done by then to follow you to Santa Pod.
By the way good work so far.

Also had a good look at the rest of this topic today and noticed the front end work that you have got to do and was gona say good luck with getting it done but seeing the rest of the progress mate there is no worries of you getting it done to be honest, just keep at it mate, you know the rewards will be worth all the hard work in the end.
