So on your side pannels Andy, Did you follow the line of the front frame down, marking it onto the side pannel? then cut down that line?

Cheers Jas

Hi Andy,

Thanks so much for your hospitality yesterday. I thought I was pretty motivated in getting my car finished but after you taking me for a ride in your fabulous car my motivation is through the roof.

It felt so smooth and planted. Hope mine comes out nearly as good. I know what shock/spring combination to go for now. Would love to have the same engine setup as you but for the moment will have to stick with the Beemer 318. I will probably go for the bike carbs/megajolt like yours though.

Thanks again.

Thanks Graeme,

I am pleased you enjoyed it and it was worth the trip over. The time to take people out is on the track on a dry day, the haynes comes into a class of its own then. Tested it against an MK on last track day and even though my engine was mis-behaving the MK couldn't touch it on the corners.

Again anybody is welcome to have a go on 9th April at teesside Autodrome.

Cheers....AndyH
