This is getting into some build. The CF is looking smart morgan.
Just gone through all of this and it's amazing how much work has gone into it! Good luck with the rest of the build and I'll be keeping an eye on this!
Afraid not mate, the festivities took over. February/March will see it move on otherwise I'll be struggling to get out in the summer.
Hi.
If I could pay someone a grand or so to complete the last bits and know they would do them how I want then it would have been done a few months back. Unfortunately I can't trust anyone working on my cars, I would end up taking apart what whoever had done and would have wasted my money.
I can dream though.

I'm out, I only know how to use cable ties and wd40!
What have you even got left to finish on it Morgan? I lost track when you got a second car lol
Don't worry so did I.
I hadnt planned on doing a list as they usually scare you but here is a list off the top of my head:-
Engine:
Finish cooling system with some more mikalor clamps.
Mount oil cooler and make aeroquip lines.
Make bracket, mount breather tank and make aeroquip lines.
Make up aeroquip fuel lines.
Make up aeroquip brake lines, mount tilton valve and fit brake pads.
Secure and route all those lines.
Buy and fit SPA oil pres/temp and coolant temp/volts guages.
Mount exhaust with custom centre hanger.
Mount accelerator pedal and route cable.
ITB angled spacers to fit.
Fit megane injectors once started.
Map the engine.
Body:
Fit chassis loom and ecu, changing all connectors at loom ends.
Mount battery, cut off and make up battery cables.
Mount fire extinguishers and make lines and route cables.
Mount ePAS rack, box of tricks and wire.
Space down column.
Gut steel doors as the SMRC don't allow composite.
Fit poly windows.
Fit FG door cards front and back.
Fit FG bonnet and boot and have painted.
Aerocatch both and the outer front bumper.
Fit harnesses.
Fit seats.
Cut and profile lower and top dash to clear roll cage.
Mount a dash panel for all switches, cut offs, guages etc.
Make spacers and mount CF floors.
New windscreen.
Single wiper conversion.
Potentially still going to fit the works rally style sill tubes that I have.
Suspension & driveline:
Have custom shafts made.
Relieve chassis rail for driveshafts.
Test the package locally getting everything suspension in a ball park.
Get the geo done once for reference and fit rear axle spacers and shims to suit the geo.
I could knock most of that out in a week flat out if I'm honest, its the adjustment of the wiring loom and routing of that is putting me off. Progress will definately be made next time home so that depressing pile of bits in my garage and lock up don't look so menacing.
Then I have to get it tested, sort the niggles and get my race gear before its entered in any door to door racing.

182cup & 172 racecar
Morgan, James has ocd, so would do a good job tbh.
And me also at times. It was in jest really but if James was closer and at a loose end he could have the job no problem at all.
