Fair comment Ade !

Just a bit speechless.
To build a car at this level takes a special kind of person !
I don't know how most of the guys on here get the time let alone anything else to produce this kind of quality
I'm amazed !!! I struggle to find time to fart what with wife , two kids, two cats , a gecko , snake ,mortgage blah blah blah!!!
I take my hat off to all involved

Things are happening, albeit slowly . . .

Motor was delayed through waiting for various parts to arrive, lost a Jesel Keyway put me back 2 weeks, blah, blah, no big deal, as long as I'm ready for Feb/Mar'13

Couple of shots from yesterday, on the motor . . .

Bottom end all complete, Rings gapped, Cam timed, etc, etc.

Waiting for a couple of Head studs, then can complete installing heads. Heads have been fully gone through.

been installing new fuel system, also made the change from Big Stuff3 to Motec.


Pictures should help tell the story :thumbright:

Seriously, big thanks to Mark for putting me up over winter. I know I keep telling myself the car will be out next year after attending the Mopar nats but 2013 seems a real possibility.

Still Progressing slowly, at least motor is buttoned up, manifold still not finalised.

Bit of re routing of fuel lines, fuel pump, filter & rad lines, nothing too major.

Fuel pump drive now modified & finished, with expected delivery tomorrow night. (Thanks Steve :thumbright: )

Once pump is finished can complete all fuel lines. Headers & Turbo’s will have to come off to get exhausts coated, but wanted to plumb the turbos, waste gates, etc or at least run lines in readiness.

Still tons to go . .

Lodgers Fury is making good progress & now 95% wired, bit more bodywork happening at present, but the old girl is starting to look real good & will be a proper hooning tool when done. ;)

I will let Jerry give you the full SP . . .

Anyways, here’s a few pics . . .
