Update - 12 months and counting

well it has been a year - one year since I said it would be 3 - 6 months until the car would be ready
one year - and its still not done
hmmmmmm

so - warwick - what has happened this week? I hear my loyal readers ask.......
Strut tops made - 8mm mild steel - now drilled ready for bolt fitting - just gotta work out what bolts are going into them - and I am really glad I am not welding the suckers on
Steering column extended - but not welded yet - will finalise that when we do the seat fitting part - thick walled 4130 with the std shite mild steel Fiat shaft machined down to fit its about 400mm longer then it was but that will reduce once we see where things sit

Stuff to do prior to cage
sand and seam seal the bits that will be impossible to get to once there is a jungle gym in place
find some tube to fit the Fiat Nydella rubberised bearings for the steering shaft and come up with picture to give the cage builder for the struts to mount it to the das bar of the new cage
Give the car a complete clean and blow off and send it on its way...

4 weeks to go
