Thanks for the words Matt.
JC, yeah was a shock as I was just going to go easy on the engine and hope for the best. Obviously I never even got to do that. However, I would rather be in my position than like Josh (MiniMad) who drove around for two weeks before blowing his engine). Too late for the bonnet! Tricky has finished the bonnet apart from the colouring in bit. I thought I had all the bits now anyway.
Gordo I hope your engines are ok! It isn't too bad really. I had money there for things and it has got to a point where I want it done and will just siphon money off of things that I don't need for the build e.g. engine internals rather than LSD. I'll be only doing one wheel skids in this car instead of two wheel skids! Might help my driveshafts last longer. Tricky thought there was something wrong as soon as the engine couldn't be turned over - you could always try yours!
Back into updates: Still working my way through the pictures Tricky has sent me in various emails. Getting closer to being up to date now:
^Some new bits welded in where the cross member had been hacked in the past.
I think in the photo where there is a hole present, Tricky had a piece of metal fly off while wire wheeling (was just glued on, rather than welded).
Some more pics of the floor:
The floor wasn't as good as everything would suggest it would've been. Tricky has also cut off the gearshifter brackets and is going to come up with some better ones for the carpet to go over and to mount a centre console to. Anyway, that pretty much brings me up to where Tricky is up to at the moment with the build.
