Alu front subframe starting to take shape. It was meant to be a Spondon copy but didn't have anything to bend the right radius, so it's a little big-boned. I need to finish the welding, add a couple of braces and something to mount the tacho warning lights and temp gauge in.

I haven't yet Al. I got this far on another course - aluminium welding and fabrication. Handily I also learned how to stretch and shrink metal. I'm going to end up buying an ACDC TIG welder, I just know it.

I took it out of winter hibernation at the weekend. Sorted all the bent bits, filled it with fluids and fitted a new toy - quick shifter. If I hold my breath, cross my fingers and say there's no place like Donington enough time I hope to be testing it out on Saturday.

As of today yes. MSVT have said they are keeping tracks open using a few extra procedures. As of tomorrow? I have no idea but I'm not hopeful. Anglesey has shut on request of the local government so with school closures and a lock down likely any day the writing is in the wall.

It's dead, I've killed it.

A weekend at Cadwell had me nearly punted off by a guy who ran into the back of me then home for an early bath after the motor let go coming out of Park. It sounded horrible so up went my hand and I pulled of. Nothing obvious, like holes in the cases, but it wouldn't move in gear even with the clutch in. It'd move in neutral though. A couple of prods of the starter showed it's jammed up quite badly so it seems fairly terminal. I'm not sure I can face it yet but at some point soon it's going to be in tiny pieces, again.

Clutch problem?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
