Seems like it certainly has changed hands a few times!

Once the IRS rear end is done and the bushings for the front end arrive from the US, I'll start on the mechanical renovations (narrow the beam etc)....would be nice to have it ready for valla but work may get in the way of that! I'll do my best, at least the oval is a backup!

IRS is now done and sitting a lot better (on early bay brakes etc), still waiting for the sideplates and bushings from the US before the front end can come donw as well. It will get there eventually.
