Loved this bit.... Forgot to say yesterday that Joe's floor is also very yellow; a local gravitational anomaly caused the paint tin to leap to the floor, and resulted in a Jackson Pollock-like spatter effect...
Superb!!! Now, in the Royal Navy there is a saying that is beaten into you when using tins of paint, and it doesn't matter what rank/rate you are! "Stick it on the deck, that way it has less distance to fall!" Excellent write-up Neil and sounds like Joe is the Wizard of the Welder! Well, let me put that another way, without denigrating Joe in any way at all, all those welds on running/steering/suspension gear, and if *one* fails a Damien Hurst painted floor may be the least of your worries! ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) Whoops! I promised myself I wouldn't include a smiley in this post, sorry! ![blush blush](/forum/images/graemlins/default/blush.gif) ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)

Damn, best wishes to Jake, Joe.
I reckon the next stage - the wiring - needs only a single new connection making: the fuel pump wiring. The rest of the wiring can be draped over the wings and clipped together.
One pipe for the PS pump, two connectors for the radiator go and return, and the dipstick tube, and the engine bay's finished. Pair of jump leads to prove it all works... half a day?
Then another day to sort out the actual holes for the loom to come through, build some sort of semblance of a dash, drop the instruments and switches in on temporary mounts, MOT.
Sorted.
It does occur to me though that this might have been a *tad* excessive just to stop the offside dipped headlight fuse blowing every time I went over a hole in the road...

A result with the insurers today.
Friday I rang them to notify an engine change. "Yes sir, that will be three hundred and forty pounds." "Er, no it won't." "Yes it will, sir." "Er, the car is insured on a fixed price deal irrespective of engine, through the owner's club. There should be no charge except an admin charge." "Please hold while I consult a manager..." <vivaldi> <vivaldi> <vivaldi> "I'm sorry sir, the manager insists that this is correct." "OK, don't do anything for now, I'll talk to the club."
Had a long conversation with the chairman of the Quantum club (one upshot of which is that the Quanturbo is now booked for Brooklands on 30th April and Stoneleigh for the Kit Car show on the 1st May).
Phone call this morning: "Hello, is that Mr Barnes? I've got some good news for you. We got it wrong on Friday..."
Twenty quid for the admin charge. Result.
