Update for Friday 26th October

Okay, Okay so I said last week I'd try harder and I've still managed to do the update a day late!
The slap on the wrist obviously didn't work last week but after the week we've just endured I'm giving myself an excuse this week.

Eventually we made good progress but the beginning and middle of the week didn't go as expected as we uncovered one issue after another. By the end of the week we had made up lost time and ended on a high.

The body frame is very nearly completed but I didn't want to include a photo of it until after it has been painted and so you'll just have to wait until the next update!

We made several adjustments during the week so that I could include a purpose made radiator and fuel tank into the kit. At least that should ensure that the engine is correctly cooled and the fuel tank survives for the life of the vehicle. If the fuel tank proves to be successful we will be able to offer both a mild steel and alloy version.

Overall I am happy with what we have achieved so far and according to the planned time line remain on course for our launch.

By the next update we will certainly have the body frame finished, and perhaps even some of the body panels attached. I feel sure that a photo will be available!!

If you're going to the restoration show tomorrow see you there, don't forget the clocks go back tonight.
If not going to the show then see you all next FRIDAY for the next update
