I need to hurry up with the build, as it will be my only car now...  My Citroen C4 Picasso just threw a rod. Not a nice start of the day. Engine block cracked, not a chance to repair, would need a new engine to get it running back again.  We have a saying back in Poland: do not buy cars that start with a letter F: Fiats, Fords and French. Should have listened... Anyway, enough of the rant... Hope you all had a better day.

I'm sad to say but this build is currently on hold. I had a bit of accident with CA glue - I put a bit too much pressure on the bottle and this launched the precision tip flying, and a solid amount of the glue landed on the coil of vinyl tubing I was almost ready to start installing on the engine. The coils of tubing wicked all the glue almost instantly and I ended up with, well for lack of a better word, a rigid nest made of tubing. Anyway, until I source a replacement - back to the Stagecoach build. Just lucky nothing irreplaceable got damaged.
