I spent hours polishing my sump to a very satisfactory sheen and then left it in the shed for a while. When I next look at it had gone from shiny to dull as per the picture.
Oh dear what a shame never mind, at least that is the general gist of what I said. After a bit of searching on the net, I thought about repeating the process and then trying zoop to seal it but in the end bit the bullet and got it camcoated.

Nick, looks like he's getting the body to fit up really nicely. Great pics.
Southern GT do a very neat solution for fitting the door handles. My door handles were not supplied by Southern and so I had to modify them slightly to fit. A while ago I bought a metal bender which I knew would come in useful one day, didn’t think it would be 30 years before I first used it though!!!

Nick,
Progressing nicely. A good team effort...

In order to get the dash in past the roll cage I had to cut the corner off, I wanted to make it possible to take the dash out again if required. With apologies to the real engineers, I thought the way to do it would to build a plinth that I could attach the cut off corner to, like most things I do it dosen't look to bad from a distance.

Many thanks to Flat Chat
I had been looking for a solution to how to swap the drain plug and breather on my inverted G50 gearbox for some time. Luckily Flatchat came to the rescue, and even posted them before payment!!! Before and after photos below

Re: Nick's (I'll get there one day) Build Log
Unfortunately, the therapy proved short lived as JacMac was partially right. the pulley was ok but after a quick call to Mick at Southern GT he confirmed the top of the bling protruded too far into the cabin.
Great thing about Southern GT is there is no such thing as a problem just solutions watch this space.
Have you checked to see if all that 'Bling' is going to fit down in that cavity where it will be seldom seen before you make a crank pulley to fit the bling- Might find yourself redesigning the bling to suit a shorter more compact crank pulley!
