Re: Chris Melia's Mono "Raiders of the lost Arc" Chris, Indeed, great pictures that keep the interest bubbling. Hope you are well. Graham.

Car is sold. Thank you for paying an interest. Is going to a good home for sure and I wish the new owner all the very best luck in the world in continuing with the build and eventual driving experience. I have bought this weeks Motorcycle News. I recommend you go out and buy it because...

For those that have requested some shots here is the work completed so far:

I have now emptied my intray for those waiting to get in!

Price for all is £9.5K. Prices for individual parts are negotiable Thank you for all the well wishes. I shall be running a GT before I pop my cloggs but not just yet. Life is just too full at the moment.

Yes indeed. Thank you Simon.

It's no good, I miss my Bike too much! Bikes are in my blood, Dad proved that. For those Bikers amongst you you will understand where I am coming from. I have been riding bikes since the age of 3 and just can't let go, thought I could but I just can't. I live on a popular biking route and...

Hi Martin, On my belly skin I have drilled about twenty 1 1/2" holes to help this area breath as much as possible. In the top of the tunnel above the pipes I am putting sticky backed insulating foam with metallic type surface nearest the pipe surface. The general build process has been very...

No galvanic corrosion then, excellent! Have you a windy rivet puller, me thinks you will need it?

Martin, What ever rivet you end up using make sure it is of a similar material spec to the sheet - not the chassis. For example; do not use a steel pop as they will eat into the sheet and then be a pain to drill out. After all, the sheet is only a cladding and not really a stressed part of...

Martin, Good work! I'm rather pleased also that others agree it's a great chassis.

Chris, The ZF is a heavy box. Can the Q be any lighter? Great work.

Thanks for the interest Martin, sorry the reply has been slow in coming: Build is "progressing". Got to get the house finished first. As long as the chassis is complete by summer I'll be chuffed. I work at Heathrow so been rather busy up there too in recent weeks! Things are settling down...
