Well the little yellow escort is nearly back in business. Just waiting for the engine now but the brakes, gearbox, prop etc are all ready and the front splitter is on. The whole splitter/spoiler is held on by two R clips and one M6 bolt, so nice and quick to fit.
A few decals are also on now after the old ones had been carefully removed.
Had a close scrape with the arches yesterday. As they were being repainted the whole yard where the paint shop is went up in flames and they were only just rescued, which is more than could be said for some of the nice cars in the units there. Firemen expect the blaze to last three days Looks like our painter will have nowhere to work for a while...

A few teasers, hopefully she will be back on her feet with the engine in place next time we update
