Looking good Nath, i drove past today (12ish) and saw Mark's FRS outside.
Would have banged on the shutter door if i had time. Had just done wheel cylinders and shoes on mates 106 so was covered in filth - needed to shower etc before heading straight out again so didnt have any time
Mart.

Cant believe you missed it too!
Well quick update today, the gear box and diff's had to be repainted today as that shiney paint looked good it came off if anything went on it so was not suitable! So here are the new box and diffs...
Engine has now been stripped down bits primed and painted sump etc...
Fuel tank and prop shafts now sitting primer ready for paint, thats it for today
