    No one will be able to map it without being able to either drive it on the road or a rolling road.

    I would recommend Greg at Protuner he has also now moved to Coventry opposite morrisons, I can help if you need a trailer to move it.
    protuner seems the way to go, and thanks for the offer of the trailer, need to sort out the body first so early next year for the mapping.

    Hope you get it to a few shows before some crazy person buys it and can't handle it straight into a wall.

    Shame you are going to sell. Such a good piece of work.

    All masked up and ready for 2/3 coats of high build primer. Lots of distortion around the redundant filler cap. Took a day to get it right.

    Finally stoped smoking. And runs really smoothly good oil pressure at tickover. Revs freely without an anti-stall valve. Expected problems using N1 cams. No mixing of oil and water yet and I have run it to 75's so it looks like the Darton liners are holding. Just need to map in the cam change on the VET head and cross my fingers there's no metal contact as there's a lot of lift with the N1 cams.

    Sorting out the side skirts I do have a pair of frp covers but there a bit over stated. I want something simple so I’m in the middle of making theses out of 0.9mm aluminium.

    Just fitted some bc racing coil overs and I’m quite happy with the standard setting.

    Sanded to bare metal then primed. I should have used a finer grit as the primer has highlighted where I’ve cut into the metal with the power sander. To heavy handed.
    I’m thinking all white with black bonnet.
