Hi!

Good to see you're back at your build mate.

Hope you are safe from the events in Bangkok.

No Thailand for me this year (and no diving ) too much work here. Otherwise I would have travelled a bit more to come to meet you and see your car. Perhaps next year?

Good luck

True but its all relative I moved here to get away from sub 20 weather so for me a drop in 20 degrees is a hell of a lot .

I dont envy you guys and I am gonna have a lot of driving time if i get this thing finished.

Well Schools out for about six weeks so I have time to work on the car starting this week. First thing I did this week was to make a small electrolysis tank (2gallon bucket) may have to make a bigger one as it works really well.

I also got all my transmission tunnel tacked in place including making the hand brake lever.

Next is CP11 I have the already laser cut from 2mm steel just need to bend the 25mm X 2 mm strip round them.
After that fit the front diagonals and now I can also fit the seat back diagonals with those dreaded compound angles.
Then weld up all the tacked rear and transmission tunnel.

check out the blog for details and pics

Well got there in the end welded up all the chassis upto now and given it a coat of red oxide paint as it was going rusty fast.
