so in the end.. where's this heading? ssh top secret

Well.. let's wait and see but the thought of black, no nonsense almost military purposefulness has an appeal. Like the Blackbird the 358-SS should be an enigma within the modifying scene.

Updates from MVS - October

ok i know im a bit slack il try to sort out the report on your lotus as soon as poss, here a few pis of the shafts+ altenator.

ok i think we may take you up on the offer of the paint work. it would be nice to see it leaving in more of a finished state.I loved that pic of the orange car you sent, amazing. id like to get hold of one of them bumpers and graft it to the front of your car!! any ways im going for a standard ish looking bumper but with a few changes which will make most bookworms do a double take, a much larger/ longer front splitter as for the ground clearence issue i decided to try to search for some of that rubber stuff and get it to hang down by a few inches,this would be a lot easier than having to remove the front section of the bumper, oh and im going for a double dive plane!

ye these r not the old shefts these dont have any welds on them either so thats all good. only problem with them is that after i put them all together a guy from a local grass track racing team came around for a chat saw them and said" my mate from hewland sez that if you want your shafts to last longer then you should put them in the lathe and polish them up+~ get all the machine marks out! " so i said "balls" so looks like i got to take em apart again and polish them up in the lathe. oh well.the engine came out yesterday for the last time hopfully, its been in and out more times than youve been in and out of the car lol.

cheers merlin.
