Well the red one is coming along but i now have no £ left. I'm going to put the first coat of red on it tomorrow. It still needs interior, brakes, suspenson and engine putting it! Ive booked the MOT of Wed 29th so I'm really pushing as i really want it at Retro cars show! I'm not using the fibreglass bonned anymore as it needs a fair bit of work and will only save 3kgs but still using the HS hatch! In other news been looking at the blue shuv and thinking "That could be lower!" so i did! ps sorry bout big pics just signed upto Photo bucket and not had chance to resize them. PPS I'm thinking the blue shuv needs a roof rack??

Chop, ive made some spacers on the Lathe out of PU so i can put them in the spring cups on the axle and raise it when i have to.

Thanks guys your comments really help, I'm getting to the end of my rope with it ive been doing 12 hour days on it every day since i came home on the 6th! I'm hoping it can start going back together Friday evening, Sat and sun I'm working nights so will do what i canand hopefully i can get it ready for MOT on Wed. Ive temporarily given up on things like re-routing the brake and fuel lines and fitting the Fibreglass bonnet until after the show as ive jusyt not had time.

Keep up good work Racer86, in my book you are a proper folk hero for your achievements as documented on here. You get stuff done about 500 times faster than I do.
