I've just spent this months workshop rent taking a chance to develop a rolling chassis that is a bolt together option that possibly no one will buy.

Bruce dispite what you might think your mushrooms where sent Friday 2nd class post you should have them Mon-Tues. Your refund will be issued when I have resolved the problems with paypal.

Thank you Phil, I appreciate the update.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time so please forget about any refund, once I have the mushrooms it wont be necessary. I can work with the bones as they are initially, if/when I need to make modifications it will be later on and the speed I'm going probably much later! and will most likely only affect the lowers so if its an issue maybe we can talk about it then when hopefully things will be better. They may not even need modifying but I had been trying to keep all my options open.

Bruce

Put some squirt and a battery in to my donor yesterday to have a little drive around the yard, pair of mole grips on the steering column (don't have a steering wheel yet) ex race car bucket seat held in with rachet strap (no seats either)

It did not go the way I had intended......

It started which was a good sign .....at first, then listened and thought thats running on only 2-3 at best. Pulled lead No.1 to find the plug in 10mm of water, No.2 was 15mm under the tide, No.3 was the same and No.4 the lead was in bits.
Blew the chambers out with the air line, got soaked reassembled the bits of lead,refitted and now it runs perfectly.

I will now be leaving it alone untill .......
