yeah thanks mate, its coming on now, am feelin bit better bout it too , it seemed to drag only doin bits ere and there now its well on the way hoping to get stuck in this week too

 

[Leon.]

i know that feeling. building a car from scratch (not a kit car from a manufacturer) and it relay feels like it drags sometimes. but then as you know. reaching small goals feels real good and we both have plenty of small goals. lol

yeah, when i thort i had come to the end of spending all my hard earned money , i started the axles , everything i touched fel to bits so back to square one, hopefully the last time consuming job will be the bulkhead then me new chassis can be picked up , can only get better from there .

what yer building mate?

 

[Leon.]

it is like a westfield or catrham but built from scratch using the running gear from an E30 BMW and the same basic schassis as a locost but with IRS like the Haynes roadster.
Currently moving the engine a few mm one way or another and sitting pondering wot the problem is with it being there. soon enough though i will weld all the mounts in and get the schassis painted. must get it right though and it is all a compromise and once the mounts are all welded up thats it. center of gravity is kind of set.
