awesome jack, be keen to see finished project pics.

i'm going through the dilemma of the fact i bought the newer bodyshell which needs a different subframe got my hands on a subframe but looks like they need little plates etc to mount at top of engine bay and at front of subframe( by front bumper) and i don't have all the little spacers etc. i can make some up i spose...it's just knowing whats meant to go there

and i ripped the rubber for the front windscreen trying to put it in **not happy**

ahh well should all work out for the best

cheers: mark

Hopefully the clutch hose will be here tomorrow, so I'll be able to put it in gear and it *should* drive. Wahey!

Seeing as I havn't been able to do the clutch (they dont deliver over the weekend or new years day) I've been doing other things.

Progress;





I do actually do work, not just pose.

Got new clutch flexi on today, bled it in 2 minutes. Wahey!

Clutch was stuck on, but we jacked it up, started it in gear with the clutch in, let it get warm, revved it up abit and kept trying to release the clutch. After a big bang, it's all good!

It drives!!
