Not updated for a while as my computer crashed just as I was about to save my blog which was some what annoying! going to save as I go along next time... So this covers about 2 days of work spread over a few sessions. 

Rear ARB, now done, Caterham now no longer use the hex extender... put the car on the Dion tube & torqued up all the rear bolts. I was surprised how little the suspension deflected but checked with Derek & this is normal

Interior, this is now all done. Only issues I had were with the sill protectors... whilst I was fiddling on the windscreen end the other end was scraping all my paint off... The sill protector is really sharp! & I decided to put some IVA trip over the end of it as it could take your finger off. I'm sure the carbon ones are fine but the steel ones are a liability... I was much more careful on the other side & used masking tape on the edges... just need to get it all off now.. haven't pop riveted all the sides yet until I've worked out where the arm rest goes in relation to the random doors & roof stuff... Also haven't carpeted the boot area yet as I decide to paint it with 'never drying hammerite' hopefully it will dry eventually! must be cold in the garage.

speed sensor, used some Maplin spiral wire protector that I have just discovered! great stuff & I'll be using it elsewhere too.

Hand brake, re routed the hand brake as per Dereks instructions & then secured using the 'team Ivan method' with back to back P clips. (Wasn't keen on the tie wrap method). Used 2 cut down brackets from B & Q to secure the top to the ali boot cross brace. The cables are now well away from any spinning objects & the hand brake appears to work... job done

Boot floor, the ali strut was pressed against the diff which can't be good so I drilled out the rivets & raised it with 3 small nuts held in with a bolt. The floor is now in & its fine, had to trim about 2mm off the ali honeycomb bit to get it to fit.

& thats about it! rather optimistically I have booked in my car to be picked up my caterham on the 27th March so the pressure is on! also started the IVA process & have my booking reference which is now being watched by Caterham... I regretted doing this almost immediately because up to this point I've been pretty chilled out re the project but for 'real work' reasons I need to get a shift on otherwise it wont be done til October...

So main things on the 'to do' list:

Front wings (a worry...)

Front light wiring completion (been putting this off...)

rear wings & rear lights

boot cover & roof 'sticks'

Start the engine up (a worry...)

Do an IVA idiot check...

Put the wheels, nose cone & bonnet on....

Bleed the brakes again....
