Re: MDA Mk.II FE engined build

Finally I can report some progress

Having spent 5 of the last 6 months at sea hooking up oil and gas wellheads to pipelines I have finally got 3 weeks off, woohoo. My company's generosity knows no limits!!

Got my car back from my friends where he has been welding up some chassis mods I wanted; so I took the chance of fitting the original spec (Mk.II) Girling reservoirs into the new windscreen front mount (between the rain showers)



Due to work commitments I will be shipping the car down to MDA after I come back from the Italian GP (got grandstand tickets at Ascari hoping for a repeat of Kimi's high speed parking) to get the engine/box fitted and some bodywork tweaks I want done. Mark will have some space then (he currently has 2 cars down there going through SVA) - I spoke to him this morning to confirm the arrangements (2nd Sep 08) so that's all sorted now.

I will get the car turned around tomorrow (the rain is bouncing outside at the moment) and get the rear clip mounted up on the new replica rear frame. With luck I'll get some photos of that out to you then.

After this it's just a case of getting the uprights finally painted and the centre section fitted before working on the front clip supports (what could possibly go wrong!!! )
