Off to GD on Friday

Spoke to Andy at GD today. Firstly he says not to worry about the clearance between the spark plug boots and the headers - it'll be fine (so that's good). Secondly my Oil Cooler kit is in. So I've arranged to go down on Friday morning and pick it up, together with some other bits. I also need to drop off my gearbox yoke to get the propshaft made up. Which reminds me I need to measure up first!

Whilst I'm there on Friday I'll place the order for the body and sort out some queries I have regarding that. The plan at the minute is to get the body in the latter half of November - if there is a build slot available?

So that means I have to get all the chassis / engine work completed by the start of November in order to build a rolling trestle for the body. So that means an engine start in the next couple of months! It's not critical to start the engine at this stage - it's just a temptation that I can't resist!
