Due to the cold weather I have had a fairly lazy Christmas but have managed to get out in the garage this last couple of days.
Mainly odd bits an pieces but have -
Got the front and rear brakes on and the track control arms shortened to give me some adjustment and also the top adjustable mounts re-drilled for a bit more camber. Engine and gearbox bolted together only to find that the clutch fork has no adjustment in it i.e. it is at the front of the travel and only just touching the clutch cover - easiest fix is to move the pivot point forward by about 20mm using a spacer. Finally started making up my dash mount for the ETB Digidash. Not authentic but I will give me a lot more info about engine/performance etc. I plan to fibreglass in the side and the rear, fill/primer and paint in body/dash colour (ermine white). I could go with the anchor blue of the roof/roll cage but will try the white first. I also have all of the bits for my engine mounts made, marked up an ready for welding in the next couple of weeks and also the cross member ready to be modified further to give more space for the exhaust and oil filter. This can be done as I will be chassis mounting the engine.
