013/2014 proved to be a
slow start to the project
with most of the time
being spent drawing up lists and
making plans. In 2015, however,
real progress has been made with
welding work being completed
(chassis leg, seal, spare wheel
well covered and subframe fixings
complete), the donor car – a
Vauxhall Cavalier SRi – being
stripped of its engine and wiring,
and the rest being sold on for
spares to fund the project. Late
2015 should see the engine rebuild
complete, subframes overhauled
and a start to the wiring in the car.
As for 2016, plans include doing
my ARDS Test and getting all of
my gear together, and then trying
to get a drive during the year to
get some valuable experience.
Car-wise, we want it running in
the earlier months ready for test-
ing and shakedown to iron out any
issues on our first build.
Looking ahead to 2017, we
should be out on track, with a full
season in view for 2018. We are
always looking for sponsorship
