UPDATE ....

Went to clean up the windscreen I have that came with the car however when I looked at it it is not laminated, so have ordered a new screen which should be here tomorrow.

The fuel tank that came with the car is very small and only really suitable for hill climbs and maybe sprints so I have redesigned it to be a lot larger and am having that made out of ally by Compbrake Motorsport.

Got my suspension bits delivered back today from the powder coating company another great job again from CSP powdercoating.

Nice job op.

Reminds me of years back when we put a 2 litre ford pinto in my brothers Singer Chamois
mated to a vw transaxle.

It was crude but pulled good wheelies.

Windscreen arrived yesterday so just need to find someone that can fit for me.
I have now removed the front subframe in order to remove the old fuel tank and replace with the alloy one which should be here by the end of the week hopefully, gave it a coat of satin black whilst out.
Have fitted above mentioned grill to front clam.
