I am, I know it is ott for a comp motor but as I have said it is the last big build I will do, So I want to make it special.
Back in 2006 I was very ill and it made me realise that if you are not careful you can spend your life on a tread mill worrying about the future, paying bills etc, but that it can all be taken away and that thing you were going to do when things are right never gets done.
So if you have a passion do it now, it don't matter how small you start it is just time and pressure.

Hi Guys, Not been doing much in the worksop, I'm back mending the house but I have managed to change the Harness bars in the main hoop. I have also made an inner wing panel for the laft hand front and fitted that and finally a couple of closing panels behind the seats.
I have a week off soon but that will be spent decorating, might still be able to sneak down the workshop for a few hours though.

I'm liking the seats Owl. If you don't mind me asking where did you get them from and how much. Are they water proof?

Yes the seats are waterproof. I picked them up of Ebay. I haven't seen any other Sparco waterproof seats advertised.

Just checked and you can get waterproof sparco seats, though if I was buying new seats I would get Kirkey Kirkey Lightweight Layback Seat 15 Inch - GSM Sport Seats - Bucket seats, racing seats, motorsport seats, roll cages and harnesses

Thanks for that Clive, you are quite right and there are some very smart ALRC compers about now.
Just a quick Q. I was quoted £91.00 for 3.6 mtrs of 31.75mm OD 6.35mm wall cds from my local steel stock place which seem a bit steep. I want a 5.8mtr length so I can make two set of rods, do you know a good place to contact ?

I have a guy who will deliver it for a good price. I'll see if I can find the number.

That would be nice, the price my local steel stock place quoted it would be cheaper to buy them ready made.

I have done the last inner wing so now there is just the engine cover to weld up and the body work is done.
I have also cut out the rear window for the back of the cab.

Hi hope you don't mind me asking but what have you used to make your spats (tyre covers)?? My dad and I are currently building a Trialer and are getting to the point where we need to start thinking about this problem, we have also used disco 2 axles so big spats are a must!
