First of all, thank you to everyone who is coming along watching me build my car and giving me support. At the moment there's not much going on as I have used up everything that came with the kit and I need to spend a bit more cash to keep going. However what I need are the expensive items, such as seats and all the lights, dials etc. These things will have to wait until after the holiday period that's coming up.

I have at last took the plunge and bought a battery. Its a Red Top 25 in a box that I'm going to mount down in front of the passenger footwell. From there it is a short run to the starter and a easy run up to the fuse box. I considered over the diff at the back but it's going in the easiest place and I will be putting plenty of insulation in the box around the battery to keep the heat out.

In the meantime while the car building is slow I've turned over around 10sqM of the back lawn to vegetables, (thats ones you can eat, not from the local pub!) Once thats all set I can get back on with the car safe in the knowledge the money I will save on veg will offset the car!! We all need to do our bit?
