Hope so, if its ready in time. Just getting to the expensive bit now with the engine bits, and the bodywork hasn't been started yet, but hopefully it will be ready! :D
I think Dan's should be done too, as I'm going to help him as much as I can with his engine build!. Dan doesn't have as much to do as me, so if Dans is done and mine isn't, I may be able to hitch a ride with him :P
