Hi all

So i have started to cut out the bulkhead, so i can make a new miglia style bulkhead



Next I will start to make a template for the new bulkhead

Any one know where i can get hold of new bushes/mounts for a rear antirollbar, i have been told it's a janspeed antirollbar



And check this out, what the hell are these bolts sticking out of the head (next to the spark plugs)??

Hi all

Another job done





I fitted my sliding polycarb windows and new catches. And it all works!

This evening more work on the looms, I have dropped off my broken output shaft to be repaired as I can't find a 2nd one. I will fit the other sliding window kit tonight as well.

So all going well I should be able to firing it up this weekend, fingers crossed.

One month to go to the rally!!
