I debated adding this update as it isn't much, but here goes:
Haven't been home in over a month till this weekend gone, The exhaust manifolds are modified now to fit properly but we didn't get time to atached them, I'm going home this coming weekend so intend to jack the engine to fit them, fingers crossed there isn't too much work involved in getting some engine bay clearance. I did however get to fit my shiny new inlet manifold
Due to being occupied with other things we didn't get a chance to get tucked into much else, finishing the electronics is the priority at the moment and dad is modifying the gear lever to fit. I'm still waiting for him to finish painting the rear wing as I really can't do any paint cutting or assembly until thats done, but something else always seems to come up. Instead, I started dismanting whats left of the donor car yesterday: Got most of the ancilliaries off ready to take the engine out, then we'll roll it outside and take the axles off ready for it to be scrapped. When I removed the windscreen the amount of rot around the whole screen, not just the bottom, was shocking.
So, in summary, its going, but still painfully slow. I intended to have it done by September, then I changed to just wanting the engine running by September, I think even thats going to be a stretch now. However I'm not stressing, I'm resigned to the fact that it will be done when its done!
