Looking good andy

Give me a shout if you need a hand as you know im only 15mins away

Dont know how long you plan on keeping that engine in but if you want i will come help you change your valve stem oil seals as they are probably brittle and perished if they aint been done already (common prob) and are quite cheap and simple to change without needing to take the head off.

Thanks Mark, yes please to the offer of your help, i,ll PM you & arrange when etc. thanks.

here are 2 more photos, as from a discussion earlier today, these pics MIGHT help when placing the gearbox into position.
if anyone wants a photo of a specific point for the engine/box position then just shout (PM me ), tho the engine will be coming out in next few days

Well she's rollin rollin rollin. I thought I to would be posting a couple of pics today of my rolling chassis. Stayed out in the garage last night to the wee small hours and was mega chuffed to have reached this mile stone and couldn't wait to shout about it until .............. my wife and youngest daughter where in a three car accident this morning. Everyone ok but when I arrived there where four ambulances, lady on spinal board etc and was quite scary. Of course she was the last car and will have to take a large portion of the blame for not leaving enough distance to be able to stop. So shit day waiting in hospital etc. Car will probably be write off so build will need to be put on hold to gather some funds, you just know payout will be crap and excess to be deducted etc. Off to get some cider!!

Jimmy, i,m glad to hear your family are ok physically, the car is a bit of metal & stuff that can be replaced.
best regards to you & your family,

Sorry to hear about this Jimmy, it kind of puts things in perspective at times. We all understand that your project may be on hold for a while, but don't be a stranger to the Forum. You can still talk about it even if you can't be building. Maybe if you post what region you are in, someone near you will let you sit in there Roadster?

had a busy day yesterday, had to remove the engine & gearbox yesterday, (don,t ask why)

so took the engine out yesterday morning, engine was only out for half an hour & then back in it goes,
cos it took less time than i thought it would i decided to start fettling the bodywork in readiness for final fitting hopefully next week, got quite a bit done .

here,s a pic from yesterday....



cheers
