So far today I have cut my nose open and give myself a fat eye and I was only finishing the painting and fitting the beam back on, so now all over Xmas I will look like I went 2 rounds in the boxing ring.

But at lest my work sponsored spray mask worked well.

Awesome work mate!
I have a question. I'm going to buy Stack Lambda Gauge and I would like to know where have you fitted the sensor. Have you got any photo?
Thanks a lot!

That’s the to-do list almost done, I have started a bit of a log of weight lost so far, it’s at a grand total of 25.029Kgs on the back end.

Also i have a fibreglass boot and bonnet on order so thats more to go, as the steel bonnet 5.90kg & my Mk1 boot 6.00kg

I ordered some Margard Polycarbonate Windows today aswell.
