Got a wee bit done today. I did not like the way a lot of fellow builders have mounted the radiator. I wanted to use the original mounting holes. Slot cut out  Now spacer ready to be welded  Lower brackets added  |

You might want to drop a spacer between the mounting tabs on raditor for that lower bolt..
Like your detailed workmanship..

Yes George there is a spacer for it. It all needs stripped for powdercoating so have not used washers, spacers yet

Even when its snowing and far to cold to go out to the garage the exocet build must continue In the lounge the straightened seat rails were put back on  In the kitchen a new lower boot and nylon bush put on to the gearstick  old boot was like me knackered |

Wee update. Cut the rear panel and flip what a back breaking job this was.Took me 4 hours to get it to fit but thank goodness i made a template   Then I tackled the rear fuel cover panel and made my first major balls up. Gonna put it down as to much drink last night Drivers side perfect  I cut the passenger side first then realised what a donkey i am  Was ripping and then my mate called round and asked why i had left such a large gap. I simply said it was to fit your hand into so that the panel could easily be lifted off. Might order a new one tho |

Definitely. Plan to get the engine tuned next month and will probably hire Kirkistown for a half days testing to set it up. Just need this rain to stop!! How is Andy coming along. Will he have it done this summer?

Yes deffo let me know and I will also be bringing mine to mondello later in the year. Andy has been a bit quiet lately but I dont think he has a huge amount to do. He has the wiring loom etc connected up. I have told him to have his ready for April.
