Just ordered enough gold head reflective film to cover the rear bulkhead, reassuringly expensive  Might get the engine in this weekend.

No update for a while Dan - surely you haven't let a bit of snow hamper progress?

I have been inadvertently slowed by the snow yes, I was expecting my gold heat shield to be delivered last friday enabling me to fit it and the engine last weekend. Unfortunately it only turned up yesterday so with a bit of luck and dry weather i'll get back on it this weekend.

A little bit of progress now the snow has cleared, yesterday I picked up some sheet alloy and today did this.... 
I've also removed the front suspension now and stripped the lot down ready for shot blasting.

Any chance you'll be doing the LOT Anglesey Easter weekend Dan? I'm hoping to be there with that K24 powered Elise, TDiElise and a couple others, and possibly be hiring a Cat for myself. Should be a giggle.

Jimmy Choo said... So what's the reason for a removable bulkhead? Access?
The standard bulkhead prevents fitting of most aftermarket throttle bodies to these motors I believe, that's certainly why my mate did that with his project. You can see the beaten ally in this shot:
