I've been up all night with 2 kids throwing up ones still at it this morning! I'm hoping it passes quickly and the rest don't get it as I'm due up to vmax on Monday.

Not so many people on here these days as not so many people building I guess. My build is still on hold - permanemtly now. and many other people have either completed and no longer seem to visit or have sold up.
Shame but that's how it is.

Me ?

I have been busy stripping the scabby Sierra that I picked up recently.

Got all I need off it for the time being.

Engine, gearbox, ECU, loom, exhaust fuel tank & associated plumbing, all out.

Tomorrow I'll drag it over the road & dump her in the field until I am ready to strip the running gear from it, once that's done it'll not take long for Junior to turn the shell into a big heap of scrap.

Heh! I was out in the garage cutting out a dashboard panel out of plywood, then aligning front wheels with some straight edges, right angles and tape measures! Also, fit my dream wheels to the car, OZ Superleggera. In a stroke of luck (something new to me) I found them used at around £120 for the set.

Chuffed to bits!
