Hi, Late last night I noticed that Al (Spal) had updated his official build diary http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=23760 So I was looking though it and I noticed that compared to his pics I had placed the Plug Leads the wrong way around on the Cylinder Head, so this morning I set about altering that, BTW I have no idea what so ever what these things are I'm just going of the names in the magazine  May.

Hi, Thanks Steve, Your right they are a valuable resource, but yesterday the site was having one of it's "I'll show pics when I want to" moments so I couldn't get the pics up to see them......well that's my excuse anyway May.

Hi, Ever since the collection came out I've been hunting for a local newsagents that would reserve me a copy so every week I can just "pop along" and pick it up but the problem is that they all use the same magazine supplier which doesn't cover this part work - or so they have all been telling me anyway. However last week I managed to find a place near where my kids go to school and this week they got hold of issue 17 for me. So now I will hopefully be able to pick up a copy every week, lets see what happens.... I picked it up yesterday and as I have a kid free day today, I worked through the tasks, Issue 17Passenger Door - Window and HingeThis issue is a repeat of issue 7, just as before everything went together nicely. Thanks for dropping by May. MFG attached the following image(s):

Hi Al, It was just by chance I went in there in the first place and I'm glad I did May.

Hi, Got a call today telling me that this weeks issue was in, which was nice as I wasn't expecting it until tomorrow Issue 18
Passenger Door Interior Yep you guessed it... this is a repeat of issue 8 no problems with getting the handles the wrong way around this time! although the trims were a bit more tricky to install than before May. MFG attached the following image(s):

Hi, Picked up issue 19 this morning, I already knew from Spal's diary that there's nothing to do this week  so I've just stored it away unopened until next week. May. MFG attached the following image(s):

Hi, Well it's that time of the week Issue 20
Subframe Parts 1 & 2There's not much to do this week but at least we have something to do!!! The 2 wishbones weren't as fiddly to fit as I thought they would and it was nice to see that they are made out of metal and not plastic Next weeks issue 21 contains the Left side member so there'll be nothing to do again, I'll update this diary the week after when I have issue 22 Thanks for dropping by May.

Hi, Thank you for your kind comments, if memory serves me rightly the next subscription package should be delivered this week? so you should be up to date with the collection when it arrives, May.

I wish May. they keep delivering the notifications [which say they include the parts, but they don't, it's only an envelope with a piece of paper in it] to my billing address. Which, although it's the property I own, is only occupied by my mother. I had to move for a job, and they have that address as the delivery address. The last notification I picked up was around the 2nd July, I have not had that delivery, and we are about due another one. I really must get things together and e-mail them tonight. Current Builds

I really must get things together and e-mail them tonight. Hi, I feel for you I really do, I never had delivery problems but I did have an on going issue trying to change my card details, every month I had to mess around making my payment - but lucky I have now found a newsagents that I can get my copies from weekly so I'm now free from all that hassle. May.

Thanks for that may. Might just do that myself as I have not had a problem with R2 that I get from my newsagents. Double checked and I have not had an issue since issue 10, so have e-mailed customer service and now have to wait to see what they say. Current Builds

Hi, "Fingers crossed" they'll get it sorted out for you soon, you might not get the freebies but IMO the newsagent route is the better way, I suppose it depends really on how far you have to travel to your nearest store and if you have the time each week to pick it up.

Hi, Well it's been a bit of a hectic week this week with "one thing and another" so I have only gotten around to this build this morning Issue 22
Subframe Parts 3 & 4 There was nothing to do with last weeks issue 21 of course and this weeks issue is the same as issue 20, the only difference was that one of the screws won't "grip" it's lined up with the receiving hole in the side member but just keeps going round 'n' round, the suspension upright seems to be firmly held in place though so I'm just going to leave it be. Thanks for dropping by, May. MFG attached the following image(s):

Hi, Is it me or are these weeks just flying by? anyway on with this weeks issue Issue 23
Subframe part 5 This week the side members from the past few weeks are joined together with the front cross member supplied with this issue. I must say that the parts slotted and screwed together beautifully. It's now starting to take shape and size See you next week...... May. MFG attached the following image(s):
