    Don’t seem to be getting much free time at the moment, which is a bit frustrating, as I have quite a few bits for the car waiting to go on!
    Managed to get to the workshop this morning due to the fowl weather. Bits that have arrived this week include:
    Roll cage padding
    Blue injectors, large inlet and intercooler piping
    HLM 304 ECU
    So the first thing I did was fit the padding.







    Need another length for the main hoop where it passes over my head and something to glue to the cage foot adjacent the pedal box. That could make a mess of my ankle if we get a knock!



    Here are the other bits. Didn’t really have time to do anything with these yet.











    Just ordered one of these:



    Now I have my 17 inch wheels, I can get my larger caliper brackets fitted and the brakes plumbed in from the original master clylinder. Just need to measure how much brake hose I need and find out which ends to order to suit the callipers and master cylinder etc. The rear brake pressure will be controlled in the car with the valve.

    Plenty to be getting on with. Hopefully back in the workshop next weekend.

    Unhappy

    Not an update I will enjoy writing or posting after all this progress!
    Due to pressure of work and family commitments and losing my workshop facilities, I now have to let this project go to a new home.
    Serious thanks go to Stuart at RWS for all the time and hard work he has put into this car, not to mention putting up with me dropping in when I can.
    I took some time out this week to put the car back together as far as I can. Gave it a quick polish and removed the film from the Lexan windows. Also fitted the last bit of roll cage padding above the drivers head.
    Here is the car as it stands today.



    Now up for sale and will be kept under wraps until a new owner is found.

    Dont have enough posts to put up a for sale ad! Dont want to upset any moderators.

    The car stands me at £4500 at the mo. I already have takers for the seat, harness and steering wheel. Open to any sensible offers.
