Update Friday 22nd February 2008

Well this week it seems like I have been making progress but I can't see any changes to the car!

We continue to progress the build, working from the back forwards. I am awaiting delivery of the last few panels so that various parts can be finalised.
Today we have been looking a the Rapid fit wiring loom to see if this is a suitable way forward for our future customers but at the moment that is looking like a big 'No'
Both the front and rear looms proved to be too short for our car and although I will make contact with the manufacturer I believe that we may have to look to an alternative supplier.

The famous feet are back at the foundry to have another pattern cast, then they'll be off to the chromer.

A few days spent on the engine should see everything fitted and if the electrics go in next week hopefully the car will be started for the first time.
The it's a case of doors fitted, prepared for painting and off to be sprayed.
Once that has been completed the interior can be fitted, hood frame etc made and final check over before its SVA test.
Sounds simple doesn't it? Well fingers crossed we continue the progress at this rate and then we'll certainly make the launch.

See you next week.
