well just a little update. still waiting on the 3rd engine shipment to arrive so in the mean time ive booked the escort in at walker chassis for a roll cage to be fitted. when i got a quote off him he said he wouldn't be able to do it until at least mid April, but when i rang him on Wednesday he said he just had a cancellation so im in for the 9th of march. thats less than 2 weeks away and this weekend and next weekend are out of the question as i have prior commitments. so a few night after work are in order so tonight i removed the windows and took most of the sound dedener crap off the floor. its a fun job with a hammer and chisel haha   still need to get the rest of that black tar $hit off yet. and for anyone who is interested, i baged up about 90% of it and put it on the scales.  yep thats 6kg of dead weight a few more things need to be removed before its ready for a cage

dry ice is apparently the best method for getting the black stuff of. get a big block of it (the ice) and stick it in the middle of the dedener for a while, then the whole lot should come off in bigish slabs.

Nice Cage,
Is the car destined for road or track?

cheers, it will be for the track. started the prep work on the body today. i didn't relise how many dents there were untill i had to fix them. its the first time ive done any of this so its taking a while. hopefully i dont screw up when it comes to the painting. can see the color difference here. the whole car will be painted the same as the engine bay.
