Arrived in Auckland

It is always great to come back to New Zealand and even better that in the morning I am off to Christchurch to see the build progress. I just got these images from Scott showing the side panels fitted……wow!

Busy week

The week got off to a great start with Scott and Mark catching up on the build schedule. It is not unusual for all projects to plateau and that feeling that no progress is happening. However, it only takes a few key components to be fabricated then attached so an entire part of the build is completed.

From my office in Japan I am continually updated by Scott with photographs and chats on the phone…messenger is great and free! Mark is a valuable mentor, his knowledge is considerable and Scott is proven to be more than capable in assimilating the knowledge effectively.

It was only a week ago that I was looking at file photographs of the “headers mock-up”. This week they were actually being fabricated and great progress made by the team.

In less than a week I will finally be on site at McGregor Motorsport, a “to do list” longer than my arm but a smile wider than the garage.

Scott has been busy measuring and updating the CAD files and now we can see the first body panels being cut…excellent job!

Workshop in Action

 Scott and Mark are in action today with new parts fabricated and ready to be set up on the chassis. Excellent progress; engine and gearbox mounts being installed. Mark of RS Components is assisting today while Scott works nose cone and gas tank installation.
