OK so it didn\'t make it in time for the weekend, and that has cost me a pint (Blitzboy - I\'ll get you your Magners tomorrow!)

But a lot has happened at old hillbilly motorsport over the past week and it could have been finished if the oil cooler pipes had arrived but here are some progress pics (you will note the lacy of IC or rad - they are on the floor in a nice V-mount position ready to be fitted

the progress being they have dragged it from the back of the barn to a slot near the door.  Should be a matter of months now if all they have to do is fit the I/C and rad!  :)

(now let em prove me wrong)

That\'s just the hillbilly way ;) considering how much stuff is in the barn it is very carefully placed around the cars so no damage is sustained!

Erm a couple of reasons,
1) I have changed my plans twice since the car went in
2) Chris Impey keeps blowing up his drag car! :spank

Not actually getting it done cheap but RX Motors are very reasonable priced compared to others...

The I/C and Rad are in a V-mount just not fitted yet, in fact they are sitting on the floor just out of shot!

Looking interesting Mark - you must be getting really excited now!  It\'s been a long time since I\'ve seen this car in the flesh RSII I think???

Can\'t wait to see it and hear it :)
