right its about time i updated this, not worked on it for awhile due to funds (other car needed some love) weather and me needing to pull my finger out, not that i've pulled it out heres the update so far

found a hole by my side window next to the b piller, it was covered in filler so when i gave it a poke it went through

then it started to rain but thats wasn't going to stop me

so here it is now

I still can't believe this is going on the road! I had a look at it the other week when you first moved the car in to Craig's unit, there's a hell of a lot of work there! Will keep you entertained!

Great build, really like this. Carbs look intriguing, some kind of homebrew twin setup? or am I missing something? :D

Keep it up, JJ
