Hi Keith.
Gaz hasn't got an Internet connection yet but...
AFAIK he's been doing a mod or two on Photoshop and a few bits & bobs have appeared in my garage.
At least some kind chap made a handy stand for the engine.

paint pics
well i've been painting this week, I used plastic coat zink primer and plastic coat metal protect top coat. I was pleased with the way it went
on, and it has a really good drying time (about 40 mins)
Reconmended!
I got hold of some ZX9R carbs and have sent them off to Bogg Bros to have the manifold sorted, I have know idea when i will get them back, If they
look as good as the pics on their website i will be well happy.
I started grovelling to farter, and with a bit of luck there might be the beginings of an exhaust manifold soon.
I will stick some pics of the revised design on here in the week.

I think I'd like to keep the rear 'quarterlight' behind the door, as visibility is difficult in that direction on my open locost -
blocking it off would be a nightmare on slip-roads!
I appreciate that it would be a pig to produce, though.

No. You make the car. Gaz makes the body.
The wheels just make it look smart. hehe

revised design
thanks chaps.
Sorry forgot to put the mirror on,
well spotted everyone,
the front over hang is one of the few part that i havent touched, it is funny how when you change different parts other parts seem more apparant or
seem to change .
any chance of a few pics of those wheels

Shiny bits arrived
Hi All.
Gaz has had "the call of the curry" so I'm posting this on his behalf.
The inlet manifold & carbs came back from Bog Bros yesterday so we've hung them on the Zetec
and thought you might like a pic or two.
We are well impressed.

Looking really good Gary.
One observation - have you allowed enough clearance for the headlights when the steering is on full lock & bump? I mention that because I had the
same clearance 'challenge' when I designed my front section, which required a little rethink quite late in the buck production.
I am not sure which lights you are planning to use but it might be a good idea to get the tape measure out
