To be honest Andy

It was meeting all of you good folks at Stoneleigh that gave me the burning desire to restart my buid.

I was lucky enough to see Spikehaus's build in the flesh a short while ago, that gave me an even bigger kick up the ass
It made me realise that I am not too far behind his progress & in fact, most of the hard work is done.

Cheers Andy

Whilst I am on here.

I am looking for the general dimensions of Fabbys nosecone

Having obtained a Nissan Micra radiator today it is looking a tad too tall

To be exact, I am wanting to know the height of the noscone above the front frame / top rails & how far forward the radiator can come out from the bottom of the front frame without hitting the inside of the lower part of the nonescone !!??

If the radiator is suitable, I can then fabricate the radiator mountings. That will be one less area of paintwork to damage

You are dead right Andy.

Just located them in the book.

I sort of done my own thing in that area, thats one less job to do then

Well back out to the workshop, nose to the grindstone & all that

Lets see if I can manage to get more than 2 jobs done today
