this needs some more updates Pete!

hows it going?!

All the loose panels have been wet sanded back and clear coated.

They're spread out all over my lounge room so I don't damage them in the shed.

I'm retouching the interior at the moment before clearing it.

Should have all the paintwork done by Easter.

More parts have arrive, more parts have been ordered.

I'm in negotiation with motor part suppliers at the moment on the bottom end package.

In between all of that I'm committing crimes against machining.

Professional metal workers close your eyes now.

Tiny lathes with wobbly vertical milling attachments aren't meant to work this way.











Just setting up the rear discs to take ARP wheel studs, The fronts are a lot easier as the back of the hubs are already flat.

Also I'd like to point out that I do realise that's not the right way to hold an end mill, but it's all I've got and I'm not about to go and buy a bunch of collets and a MT adapter to make it work properly.
