Thanks for an entertaining read.

Another source of banging is the diff against the dedion tube. Under load (hard acceleration) the my diff knocked against the dedion, v frustrating and took a while to identify. Fixed by grinding off the alloy fins on the diff to give better clearance.

i also noticed that the rear brake pipe was being crushed where the diff had been impacting was dedion. Glad I spotted that. Brake line rerouted and no more knocking. Sorted!

A great idea. I'll set myself a task to write up my own mini-biog.

Almost there. The only thing missing is electricity!

Bling new anthracite wheels and new rubber.

The only dial not replace is the speedo and is letting the side down rather so new one ordered.

New dash layout is rather nice. Just needs a loom.

Wide track fitted

I still have the cage but have bought an FIA roll bar for road use.

Just a couple more things to come, the areoscreen and bracket and new Mog half doors which will be rather special!

It's all coming along quite nicely now, most things are fitted where they should and some very nice Jenveys fitted. Just one thing stopping it from being fired up.....  A wiring loom!  

The old one was completely toast, lots of carbon build-up under the insulation and it had been chopped about a lot too. Next week it's off to DC Electronic in Essex for a custom loom to be installed. It should be bullet proof and will be extensively tested before I get it back.

I'd hoped to have the car back before Christmas but it will be mid-January now.

A few pics below of progress to-date.

Whilst toying with umpteen ideas for the new livery I think I'm starting to settle on one idea...

Chassis has gone off to Arch so hopefully on a couple of weeks it'll be time for paint.

In the mean time Chris at 7Workshop has his work cut out souring out the abomination which is the wiring loom

..... Duly pondered.

NO

Thanks David.

Now there's a thought.........  Clams.....

Let me ponder that for a moment.......
