Well it turned in to a big project, re-shell basically in spare time after work. The engine is in the car now, I "just" have to fit powerplant frame to link gearbox to diff, rebuild and fit steering rack, build headlight mounts, build wiring loom, base map and run in engine, remap engine for power - lots about 330bhp I hope biggrin

Great day today, great to meet you Miles and that was very good fun powersliding in your rear view mirror biggrin

Great people on the trackday, although a shame everyone seemed to muller the cones non stop. On my last run out, there was one of the mini cones in the middle of the chicane and by the time I realised it was there it was already run over by the front wheel and flying at the roll bar (and very close to my head!). Apart from that though, great fun and I learned a lot about the car (actually got as far as set up this time thumbup)

Was great fun today biggrin

VX went very well and good to go out in Miles car again, as I said to him today I'd never have got the VX if i Hadn't had been out in his car almost 2 years ago. Before then I thought Elise were silly slow things! biggrin

Good to see you again Steve! Great day, and must admit to being surprised by your vx, great car and went well smile Hopefully see you at the next Abingdon day, unless I can persuade you to come to Le Mans on the 8th August wink

George - good to meet you and great video, cheers for posting that!
