Well, cancelled my Savate training last night and made myself a lovely flange instead!
Cost me some ali grindings in the eye but was worth it!
Might even grace you with some pics soon... just to prove it really exists!
Come on Nedster, 'fess up! How's your going? 
Cheers,
Jim

front wishbones have arrived, rear suspension is all bolted up. exhaust fabrication is booked for 11th march. scuttle and dash is on, column downlink
is made. dummy engine is about to come out and as soon as i get the rosejoints for the front wishbones it will be rolling onto a trailer and straight
down to my engine building friends house where I built my engine to drop that in.
Trying to order some gauges and mirrors, but can't get hold of tadltd at the moment.

The cheek of it! Updated mine appropriately I think!
So basically I'm racing to build a car against someone who's bought chassis/wishbones etc. but assembled it themselves.... and someone
who's bought everything then bribed their mates to put it all together for them.
I like a level playing field.....
Cheers,
James

Ned - Are those the front wheels you are going to run on? I ask as the offset seems to be such that you have a large scrub radius. Do people get away
with that much?
Cheers

Fred,
To be honest I'd have to read the staniforth book (again!) to remember what scrub radius is, the wheels are from a caterham and are different
offset front and rear (et18 and 23 rings a bell) they are from a dedion caterham and my car is dedion aswell. The front end is cortina based, but
sierra track width and the rear is standard sierra stuff so this may affect things somewhat.
cheers,
Ned.

Hey Mate,
Thinking of our conversation last night, is that picture after you wound your shocks up?
Cheers,
James

James,
In that pic the front of the chassis is supported on blocks of wood. The springs are wound up by hand, basically to their static length, I need to
wind them up, effectively putting on preload to increase the ride height hence asking if you had a c-spanner for the platforms
