Sorry - I did think about it but changed my mind for various reasons.

Looks like you had the shell shot blasted and zinc/etch primer - I had similar done on my Rally Car project so I was only interested in if you found issues with cutting in new sections and welding them up

Handy to know before I start replacing a lot of sections

Actually looks pretty good like that.

Done anything with it lately?

ETA:- Which cage is that in it?

I had completely forgotten about this thread until now. Now that I have been reminded, and thoroughly disappointed by the lack of update, I hate you.

You realise that you'll soon be chased by the PH pitchfork mob, right?

An update from the OP a few years ago. I wouldn't be expecting updates.

So ......

It was about this time last year I was at Le Mans thinking how cool it would be to have driven there in the Lexspace ......

And here we are 1 year later ..... I'm off to Le Mans again and I know when I'm there I will be thinking - how cool would it be if I had driven here in the Lexspace ......

During the past year the amount of work I have done on it would be less time than to watch a good movie on the TV

(Hangs head in shame )

Now I know I've said this to myself before but I think this time I really mean it , when I'm back from Le Mans I'm going to get my arse into gear and crack on with this car , I'm targeting going to Le Mans 2020 in it !

Sorry to anyone who was hoping for a great update and that it was finished but all I can say is - watch this space !!

Glad to hear it isn't dead yet and one day may even be happy.

Has it suffered any corrosion at all?

After the delay in a progress update I thought you were going to tell us you were fitting batteries and electric motors as there would be no petrol stations by the time it’s finished. 😁

Good luck. We may well remind you of your commitment!

Maybe you could do a YouTube build like Project Binky? I know I will be glued and I'm sure many others would be as well.
