So, it’s been back to work today, which obviously hampers the build somewhat. Regs for WRGB were supposed to be coming out on the 26th, but they’ve altered it back to the 5th again, so I think I’ll have to wait a couple of weeks (at least until the shell is painted and rolling with the rally suspension and brakes on) before entering.

But this evening I’ve finished off the rest of the welding on the floor and started doing the strut brace mounts… when the welder broke! Well, it mis-fed the wire inside itself, and it was pure luck it didn’t touch anything live and blow up! It’s fixed now, but it was getting cold and I had a few twinges so discretion said call it a night! I’ve got a large shopping list to buy tomorrow so I’ll crack on with all of that, plus hopefully get the strut brace mounts done, and get the car back on its wheels.

Will it be ready in time? And will I bet ?1500 on the outcome of that question? Wait and see!
