	well ive been very busy with school of late but have managed to strip the white car down and prime the interior, and built a bracket to hold my seat into place. ive also put a dash in there and set out how i want my guages.. here are some pics.

	my grandad welded that up, i can weld pretty good but don't trust myself with my life.. the car is going to be white and blue, all white with a bit blue stripe up the middle and blue wheel arches, should look good, will have to wait and see. school holidays are from next week on for me so i should be getting alot of work done then.

	well its been a little while since i said anything so i better give you all an update, firstly ive been waiting on a 1275 metro engine to come out from the uk which was a pain but we have one now so its all good, and work has started to get moving, engine came out, engine is going to be sold as its not needed. engine bay seems solid so thats saving me a bit of welding time then i found this little curse word of a thing, the passenger side wing was really badly welded by the previouse owner which led to lots of water standing in there, and hiding under all the bog was lots of rust!!! this is the engine, looks like curse word there, but look past the paint and oil stains, and the crappy leads, and its a very nice motor, i will clean it up this weekend and it will looks a heap better, then it can go and be worked on i cant wait also got this carby which is quite large, so that will be going on my orange mini, i polished the top and checked it all over, i will put it in tomorrow evening. new pics coming this weekend, enjoy these, cheers sean

	well I havnt been on here for a long time.. but I'm back ive sold the white mini as it was costing too much and taking to long. but I bought this little beast its an ex sports sedan race car and is a pretty much complete and finished race car shell with the cage, lightend subframes perspex windows etc.. here are pics of the build so far motor half way through paint metro turbo brakes, in need of reco.. and heres a video of it running, sounds terrible on the computer.. its just running through extractors too, I need to have a custom exhaust made as it runs inside on the passenger side of the car enjoy cheers sean
