New Project...

Quick update...

After a weekend spent working on tidying the garage, I have now built a new fold away bench to do some trimming on, and put up some shelves. There's loads of room in the garage now and I can hopefully actually get to my tools to continue withthe car.

I'm taking the bottom end of the RV8 over to Paul (Prestige Performance Cars, Melton) on Friday for him to put it together for me. While I can do up a few bolts, I'm not convinced the crank is in top condition and I want the opinion of an expert. Also, as I want this to be my daily drive when it's complete, I want the bottom end rebuild to be done properly, so I decided to let a pro build it up for me.

Saturday should see me finish most of the stripping down and hopefully get myself ready to whip the old engine out (just need a crane) and then I can get the body off the chassis....
