A little, its been a quiet few months but some recent progress ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Fuel cell is now in ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4915/46130348942_851cf399ac_b.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4872/31241806627_6d33a65700_b.jpg) Dash is trimmed up with some initial brackets to hold it in place ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4861/46130348962_20a2f7e6c4_b.jpg) Looking like the gearshift will be a swan neck and come through the bottom of the dash ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4853/45268553205_34bbc3c6b7_b.jpg) Starting to look a bit like a car again ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Well. Its not dead yet! Unfortunately getting married last year put a halt on proceedings as weddings are expensive. However we're now looking at giving this a push over the line. Small update below. So work commenced on building a new floor, welded to the chassis and fixed to the body ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32718121987_b4080e1f9e_b.jpg) Rebuilt the tunnel, put in a prop catcher and sorted out the seat bases ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32718122007_f96097732d_b.jpg) Nissan steering rack, column and switches, I'm trying to stick to s13/14/15 as a main donor vehicle to help with part fitment and ease of replacement. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47660801721_cb39cec1e0_b.jpg) Front suspension built up ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/33783420328_4402c86676_b.jpg) Underside from the rear ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/33783421908_2df48ae3a2_b.jpg) And an interesting idea i'm trying out ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/33783422368_df41af9600_b.jpg) Initial plan is to mount the cluster inside the body and have holes for the round lights to peak through.

Another year another push on the Ginetta. Front end has gone from this: ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50887374613_4c2868bf2e_b.jpg) to this: ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50888090566_d835baa3ae_b.jpg) And you may notice there's a few bits missing... well Wash down and prep ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50887374348_c75bbce496_b.jpg) And apply Por15 ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50887374363_2ab7c0818b_b.jpg) So its now been off the road for 10 years! Hoping not to make it 11! Picked up an EMU Black and also an ADU 7, no pictures of the ADU. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50887441008_557d079ee6_b.jpg) Taken a course on automotive wiring.....will be interesting!

Well that's moved along since I last frequented this forum! I like the Ginetta wedges, so it's good to see one getting the love. Great fabrication skills.

If it makes you feel any better - certainly does not make me feel any better - my G27 has also been of the road for 10 years! ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) - as for pushing it over the line this year..... well I may get the chassis painted. Nice to see the progress update.

Okay bit more to look at this time Splitter / floor Started with plywood ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51192754852_0259655466_b.jpg) Which goes all the way under the engine...will form part of a flat floor eventually. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51193460731_c59510f0fd_b.jpg) Attacked with expanding foam ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51194524340_8a3cd48735_b.jpg) Shaped ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51256518230_ffa6b7a2b5_b.jpg) And currently overlayed with carpet to get a smooth / strong surface ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51254743207_6b8ec4b3ef_b.jpg) In other news the leaky sunroof is no more ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51256221369_995ab1e7ac_b.jpg) The floor has been tidied up around the gear shift ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51192754847_d8044e73cf_b.jpg) Dash is initially mounted ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51194233629_eb364ef9f0_b.jpg) And err this also happened, 10 points for anyone who can work out what's going on ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51193463061_832b2ff44f_b.jpg)

Little bit of a tease this update, I need to take some pictures for you as its moved on a little however the big news is the car is finally back home! ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53407968659_1620628527_c.jpg) Interior has most of the main elements now ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53408072860_bee304ff0a_c.jpg) Really just needs wiring up. I'm sure there will be other odds and sods but its getting closer.
