Parts already completed

Build has currently been going for just over one month already, a lot of parts have been already been fitted, these include;-

All ally panels have been fitted and sealed with silicone
Brake lines have all been run and secured
fuel lines have also been fitted and secured
bushes have been fitted to suspension wishbones,
master cylinders have been fitted
steering rack fitted.
rear wiring loom trimmed, fitted and tapped up,

pictures to follow for all of the above stages,

so far have only come across one issue, (altho i fear there are more to come) westfield had 'forgotten' to weld on the bracket to which the brake light pressure switch mounts too, not a massive issue as a M6 riv-nut comes to hand, and is then bolted to that.
the location of the switch now mounted of the riv-nut i feel gives a better position from which you are able to run the brake pipes from.

before the build could commence, the engine that was taken from the doner car needed some serious attention.

The main reason for deciding to buy a westfield MX kit, was that the engine from the MX had become very poorly, a leaky valve stem seal on one cylider and a broken oil scraper ring on another, had lead to the engine being removed from the MX to enable a full rebuild, so whilst it was taken out, it had been decided that the engine would not return to car it was taken from, instead it would be re-incarnated into a westfield,

a lot of time and money has been spent on the engine so far, i will cover what has been done to the engine in another section.
