Well little progress due to being away
 Brought back 2 cases of car parts and tools - excess baggage of 115 kg and a charge of $125 not to bad. Ps. Tools and parts in the states are dirt cheap - check harbour freight tools or Craigslist Detroit and let me know if you would like anything bringing back as I am back there for the next 18 months (4 weeks on 1 week off). Anyway there has been a change to my plans. No longer going for Supercharged Zetec - after experiencing Kev's beast I decided to go Nissan Turbo route. Mr Kev has kindly offered his experience so that is certainly a deciding factor. Was planning on bolting a charger to it but will I walk before I run so to speak... Arrived back in the UK on Saturday and collected engine/box/ecu yesterday from a nice chap in Preston Also got my wheels in for refurb should have them back later today. Wheels before  Bolt on power  A nice dirty lump. Can't wait to get it cleaned up

Well my plans to spend at least a few on hours on the build on my home week have since been halted.
New bathroom on its way tomorrow so today's task is ripping out the current one!

Well I was home for 2 weeks and managed to do nothing at all.
Away for another 5 weeks now..... It's not for the motivation to do anything, it's just simply finding time.

Well I now have approx 90% of all the bits I need.
Just a speedo, exhaust and some minor electrics required. Oh, and about 300 hours of free time to put it all together..... Happy days

No updates to shout about, as mentioned previously I 'think' I have all the parts to finish the build (maybe the occasional oversight though).
Promised myself I will find a few hours over Xmas to tidy garage (again) and crack on with the car. Target 1 to get a rolling chassis. Target 2 to get brakes plumbed in. Due to space restrictions in the garage I have a few questions regards to the build sequence. Does anyone suggest a dedicated sequence to save fitting/removing parts? I would like to get some bodywork pieces fastened in place before engine install (side panels & rear tub), don't mind the occasional scratch as the pieces will be removed and painted eventually. Just need space in the garage to work around.
