She lives!
Click the picture to see her running.
There's not much fuel in the tank so the pumps a bit noisy.
Just the interior and side glass to fit and then MOT time. I hope to have her on the road by July.......ish!

Hi,
Thanks, really appreciate your comments.
The heat shield was an Ebay purchase. Its from www.autospecialists.co.uk though as there is a badge on its side. Extremely well made.
I hope to have her finished this summer so perhaps hit a show later in autumn.....then again I've been saying that since 2011!

I'm needing to finish this car off as its now into its 5th year. She's nearly finished just need to fit the carpets, front indicators and bolt in the front seats.
There is however an alignment issue with the O/S front wheel.....
When the front wheels are aligned the O/S front wheel sits just a few mm from the back of the front arch whilst the N/S front wheel sits perfectly centered.
I don't have the time nowadays so really need to find somewhere that I can drop her off to get this alignment issue sorted.
Can anyone suggest anywhere? I'm located in Scotland but don't have an issue dropping the car off in the South to get her finished off.
Cheers guys and Happy New Year.

Tried to get hold of someone at AG Motorsport (Moorfield Garage), but couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. Left a message last week but no one got back.
Spoke with Callum @ Retro Power and car now booked in for July.

Hi guys,
I've been in and out of the project for a few months.
She's been in for an MOT but failed on braking effort, despite having 6 pot 380mm on the front. However there is no servo as I removed the Cossie 4x4 unit and replaced with as adjustable bias pedal box with bottles which has seriously decreased the braking effort.
I'm thinking that I need to fit a remote servo but I'm not sure if this is correct?
Like one on there for example; http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-...vole72696.html
Any advice?

Hi good to here this car is all most done .
I'v not read all your post and the brake set up you have put on the car . But the only help I can give is I had a problem like your having a long time back on a old mini I bilt and I put a servo just like that one on the car and it did the job stunning lee but on a old mini the master dose all the braking and a coposater sorts the rear brakes out . To be onist I could see it working ok just on the front brakes . Or your problem could just be the size masters your using
