Blimey it's March already!

Progress has been so slow due to a number of factors such as weather (way too cold some evenings), illness, laziness, complacency, the list goes on but all I know is that I had better get a move on if I want to get this car finished by July!!

Here are the things that have happened since I last posted - sorry no photo's at the moment because I am at work but I'll post some soon.

• Front suspension has been built, dismanteled, built, dismantled, and am just waiting for some new stainless steel disc shields to arrive before I build it for the final time.
• Steering rack is in.
• Anti-roll bar has ben painted and is awaiting fitting - all new poly bushes and the end bits are sitting in a box.
• Differential is in - all new poly bushes.
• Rotoflex uprights and brake back plates have been shot blasted and painted and are ready for assembly.
• Someone is due to come and weld the extra brackets to the chassis next week for the rotoflex conversion.
• Still waiting on the arrival of some alloy rear rotoflex wishbones and a new spring but apart from that the rear end is ready for assembly.
• The zetec engine has been stripped and cleaned and is ready for a lick of paint.
• I've received delivery of my modified sump and modified oil pickup which has been re-baffled and shortened for the new way round its fitting in the car.
• Finally received my custom build intake manifold to connect my motorbike throttle bodies to the engine - this is the coolest bit!

So as you can see although the overall progress is slow I have been doing a few bits an pieces and I'm expecting to accelerate through the next stage of actually mounting the engine and fitting the body.

Watch this space...
