No I don’t intend to sell the Mk, but obviously I do want to have a bit of a go in the striker just to see what it’s like.
The side panels are staying silver but not bare aluminium I’m going to wrap them to tidy them up. I might have a go at wrapping them at the weekend if the stuff turns up by then

Not had a lot of time on this in the last week or two. I have managed to paint the frame inside the cockpit though and next I’m going to take the engine out and start in the engine bay. A couple of pics to prove it happened :D

I have managed to get some time on the car today and have stripped the engine and front suspension out.

Got a few hours on the car today. Finished painting the chassis and front suspension. Wrapped the sides and refitted the front suspension although none of it is done up yet. Also rested the rear panel back on the car as where I had it hanging up I kept banging my head on it and it was annoying me, so it actually looks more like a car again now
