Nice choice Peter. The developments in racing technology that Surtees and his contemporaries saw must have been incredible. Look forward to seeing your build, looks like it's a very nice kit.

Here's my next update


The rear suspension is finished with no issues and I have just finished wiring the engine and I have had to swap the clear tubing supplied with the kit as I did not fit for the fuel injection ports

The wiring/tubing looks great.
