Matt has removed the wiring loom from the donnor car and routed it, ready for me to start connencting and modifying it. The block and gearbox are in, just waiting for the gaskets to arrive before being rebuilt.
Martins former car is now fully stripped and masked ready for paint later this week, although this car won't be ready for the rockingham day.
