Apologies for the wait for the next update but here we are: I`ve worked on the rear suspension, drive shafts, discs/brakes and then connected them up to the engine. With those parts together I`ve also done a test fit of the rear wheels/tyres. Work in progress at the moment is on the pit crew and pics will follow very soon.

Thanks for all the interest and comments. As promised below are the basics of the pit crew: First pic includes three mechanics and the team manager with the cap on. Second pic includes the driver, time keeper and the photographer. Third pic is a bonus and is a tool chest that will be in the dio. Primer is drying on the main vehicle body panels at the moment.  More soon. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Thanks for the comments and time taken to look in. Just a small update today on some of the garage equipment etc that`s on its way. In the pic below there is loads of garage equipment and in the bottom left the camera mans gear. (two cameras and his kit box). The line for the air cylinder is made of yellow coated wire wrapped around a small diameter dowel. Still to come are numerous small tools, the quick lift jack, the battery jump pack and the driver information board. More soon.
