bit of an update, have been slowly getting paint on the tubes but as the situation has been upgraded to SITKOM 3 -single income THREE kids oppressive mortgage - I am having to beg borrow steal time in the garage!
been thinking about the tyres, I had thought about using yokohama A048 for the street and using M/Ts at the pod, anyone used the yokos before? I think they are used on lotus' but not sure

I am poised like a p155head waiting for his curry to carry on with the car, I just need to pay off what I owe or the projects financial director (the wife) will castrate me! Engine mounting tubes will be next! Early next year all going well.

fully intend to have it street legal once finished, if andy frost can do it with his car I don't see why I can't with this! It will even have a full length exhaust system!
