Seems to have taken it quite well excluding the damage between 2-3.

Quite looking forward to building it back up and lightening as I go.
The engines the same as it's always been mate, i swapped the ap suretrac for a salisbury just before I started the rebuild but that's all. Poor motors took some grief :)

We don't talk of the 1st - 2nd - 1st incident lol
The shell is off being painted, hoping to get it back early next week so started cleaning up front subframe and added a few more holes *happy*



Cheers, rich

It's coming on well I believe rick :) going to try and get over to have a look tomorrow ... Can't wait now lol
That's good to know Matty, I didn't know what a standard frame weighed! I cut the back off and went tubular so it mounts directly to the cage. That mustn't saved a fair bit then :)
