This car not done yet

Seriously Adam when you looking like getting it mobile ? Thinking of trying to arrange a track day type of thing where we can all meet up and swap cars for a lap or two

Tony

I don't think it "should" be that much longer.......engine is ready now, just got to bolt the gearbox back on.........touch wood the gearbox is ok

I'm just touching up on a few rust spots and then i'll start cracking on with the carbon fibre, wiring and dash. Once thats done.......engine and box in........all done

Sounds simple enough but i'm sure to have a few set backs

Thanks Guys Not long now..... i hope

Dave, i've decided not to make the dash out of carbon fibre. The carbon i had wasn't the right texture as its single strand carbon rather than the normal (better looking) double weaved.
