Looking good, but be warned, I have those lateral arms and the paint is not the best - I need to get back under the car and clean mine up

I noticed they were easily scratched. They will be getting powdercoated Gunmetal anyway.

Or you could be totally wrong

The main reason there has been no updates on this project isn't because it has been binned but because it has moved!!

I started building this with my good buddy Scooby whilst we were still in the Royal Airforce.
Today, neither of us wear the blue shirts anymore and more importantly, I'm no longer in the country!

Due to financial reasons, I bought Scooby out of the project and have the car stored inside a 40ft container just waiting for it's new house to be completed




I now live in Calgary, Canada and that above is a picture of my shop that's being built (they call them shops out here, think it's short for workshop rather than garage )

It should be finished before snow fall and I should have all my projects in there, ready to play with over winter.
FieSTi will be going on a heavy duty rotisserie so I can get the underside finished first.

But have no fear, this will start to be worked on again before the end of this year

Default **UPDATE**

It's been such a long time since I was last on here, it looks like you can't change the FONT anymore? Unless I'm just missing it?

Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know that you will be seeing movement on this project this year.
Now, I'm not promising how and where that will be but my circumstances have changed a bit and therefore I'm changing things up.

I will be now building this/finishing it as a track car. This means it probably won't end up looking s good as we originally wanted but it will mean it get's used in anger.
I hope to have it on the Rotisserie in the next month and I'll start adding pictures as I do (what are people using to host their pictures??)

That's it for now

So, just testing the new system, this was a picture of when I was able to get 2 of my projects into the workshop area

This means it will be a lot easier to put pictures up now

This idea/ build is pretty similar to what the legends at Bad Obsession Motorsport are doing with "Project Binky" (mating Celica Gt4 running gear with a classic mini)
If you like fabrication you'll love their videos.
