And that's all for today... it was 11:00PM, so high time to... eat dinner.
Looks good, but plan was more ambitious... I wanted finish rear section... everything take more time than I thought.

It is good progress! To me this was one of the most satisfying parts of the build -- the car-shaped chassis appearing out of nothing.

Indeed, it's very satisfying (it was even kind of trance), that's why I wanted to finish it ;) Especially that this week will be busy at work/home, so there won't be time for roadster :(

Today's progress (not too much, but always something):

With a little help of my friend I brought some donor parts to garage and... my little engine ;)




I also moved whole build table to have easier access to everything...

Looking good.

I always tried to do something every day,however small, even if it was only tidying, in order to keep moving forward!

You'll soon be rolling back and to in the workshop going "vroom, vroom"!

Small steps, but in right direction ;)

Today I got steering column UJ to fit my Punto II steering rack...



The plan is to weld together Sierra and Punto II UJ to make one extended steering shaft to connect Sierra steering column with Punto steering rack...

Time for update...
As I'm now unemployed I should have more time for roadster, but... life is cruel and I have to find a job. So... roadster is waiting for it's time.
But I'm trying to do something when I only can.

I bought some parts:
MB 190 radiator...


Clio header tank...


Headlights...

I also got my CAD designed laser cut parts:

Paddle shifter to fit Sierra column...


Seat brackets...


And rollbar mounting plates...
