I still have some thoughts about improving the MNR but atm its all about driving. I may leave some to the winter when its off the road.
In the meantime I'm starting a new kit car project, all be it more of a conversion. I've always fancied a Jago after lusting after WWII jeeps and now I'm on the road to getting one. It has to be 4x4 for me so I've got a Suzuki SJ413 off ebay that will be stripped down to the chassis and built up with a Jago body to replicated the Willy's.
Ive started a new blog, HERE, just need to see how much work I get done on it the rest of this year.

I've been busy driving! Been down to Stoneleigh for the car show, camping 2 nights. Nice 450 mile round trip, wet coming back. No drama's to report, car behaved perfectly, was comfortable and despite the downpour and truck spray I managed to stay dry!
Wilwoods are starting to feel better than the OEM Sierra brakes but the pads squeal very loud at low speed. Need to see if that improves with bedding in.
Pics from the Stoneleigh show can be found HERE! I only really took pics of things that caught my eye and stood out like the beautiful SS100 rep. And the V8 engines... yum yum. There was just too much to look at on the 2 days.
Got some tips lining the bodywork up and some ideas to make a new column shroud. More car building to come!
So, bodywork to do, steering cowl to make, switches to move and 10" drums to install.
I will have tons of time on my hands soon...
