I can imagine you,d need ear defenders for that

Poly bushes arrived wednesday (thanks TT & Tatey ) fitted thursday

next job is to tidy the wiring in the engine bay, then start "fitting out " the car, so the track day on April 9th is looking good

I was busy making a chassis kit, Spud set to work installing the poly bushes on my car, he transformed the "sturdyness" of my car in about 2 hours , all bushes fitted thanks Spud
didn,t have time to take any pics, must do some new updated pics for my build log

will try & post the engine start video tomorrow.

You get the bushes cheap and then get Spud to put them in for you... That's a double megga whammey

He's a sukka

Thanks Davie,

yes, i can,t wait to give it a "spin" around the Saturn workshop

all being well it,ll be at the track day in April, if it is completed for that day it,ll be precisely 53 weeks from the first cut of steel.

Tho i must say, i couldn,t have achieved this build without the help of this forum ,

How,s your build coming along?

cheers
andy

my build is going slow at the moment. i'm in the middle of stripping the doner, well, just the loom left to remove.
i'll be out in the garage tomorrow, if she'll let me!!!!

i cant wait till i'm starting the engine in my one, ya lucky bugger.

I'll look forward to viewing that

How's the build progressed over the last few days ? .... I bet you certainly got a big shot of enthusiasm once you got that engine started
