Cool, I thought you'd been quiet, it's looking good. Liking the aluminium work, do you do decklids?  Shocked

We'll see you at Flamin' Thingy and it looks like I'll have my car for the RWYB on the Sunday, I was still struggling with that ignition / fuel issue but Richie popped over yesterday and got the thing fixed. Still stuff to do but that was the biggie stopping play.

It was late and we'd run out of fuel testing it trying various fixes so we couldn't be sure it was OK when he left but I popped out earlier, got some gas, fired it and went out for a drive and it's back, Not bad at all.
