2007 - Like the Energizer battery - it just keeps going and going and going!
Shaping the radiator shrouds to fit the body - 1/8" at a time, panel on, panel off.
Laser alignment of the body join - nothing but the best here!

Fuel tank sender hole.
Fuel tank heat blankets. Looks like it's been designed by a committee!
An easier solution?
One day!
My Mum and Dad visited and helped build the ECU box and the ignitor pack and MAP sensor panels.

VH-XAA & E's legs.
Proud owner!
