Ok so there have been a few small changes to the plan, shed construction stalled due to arsehole shed guy, now fitting SE running gear and will be attempting to get it registered.

I had to strip the donor and didn't have anywhere to put all the bits so I just bolted everything on to the chassis, very easy to work on with no body in the way, I've fitted all the running gear, SE engine, 6 speed and 4.1 Torsen, brakes, pedals and steering column are in, fuel tank... It's gone to NitroDann and Exocet to weld in a few brackets and build exhaust.

I'm not sure they would let it run in the 300s...

I had a look at this a couple of days ago. The pics make it look a bit out of proportion (the cage looks disproportionately tall) but in real life, it looks REALLY REALLY good!

I'm already plotting what I might do...
