I can imagine you,d need ear defenders for that :D

Poly bushes arrived wednesday (thanks TT & Tatey ) fitted thursday:D

next job is to tidy the wiring in the engine bay, then start "fitting out " the car, so the track day on April 9th is looking good :cool:

cheers

Thanks Davie,

yes, i can,t wait to give it a "spin" around the Saturn workshop :D

all being well it,ll be at the track day in April, if it is completed for that day it,ll be precisely 53 weeks from the first cut of steel.

Tho i must say, i couldn,t have achieved this build without the help of this forum , :cool:

How,s your build coming along?

cheers
