Hi Luke.

Ive spent the last couple of days reading through your entire project thread.

A big thumbs up for a great job your doing and have done over the past year, you can really see how much you've progressed mechanically through the project.

I had a project similar to yours when i was 15 a good few years back that me and my dad worked on but unfotunatly i had to part with. i've now got the bug again 10 years later.

Its a real insperation reading your progress and seeing how your managing your 'budget' to fund your build.

Despite the ups and downs im sure you'll have a great car once your finished and you'll have learn't a hell of a lot too.

Keep up the hard work

Chris

Thanks Chris! always good to hear support like that

Quite a big update today, big milestone! Haven't got the time to do much writing because I'm shooting off to babysitting soon.. but the pictures are pretty self explanatory, as always & a massive thanks to my Dad for help on the last subby bolt! tried everything I could and then he spent time on it with a drill and hey presto!

Also broke my front windscreen whilst pushing it out but the lip behind it is actually in surprisingly good condition which is always nice to see.

& everything stripped just in time for payday

NOTE: all the pictures are taking years to upload so I haven't got enough time to do them before I go babysitting, will do them later or tomorrow morning

This one has though
