You're one busy lad, how many projects do you have on the go at once?

I'mlooking forward to seeing this progress!

There will be nothing modern about it apart from the shape. No comforts going in this, if it doesn't have a function it'll be in the bin our sold.

I have a sequential gearbox in my saff that will be going in along with the touring car spec engine. Not sure on suspension, some research needed first.
