14th April 2019: Having been in correspondence with Chris on a daily basis since the car arrived in his workshop, he sent over some pictures today of the current progress😁. He's removed the bodywork from the original chassis and temporarily mounted it on the new one. He's also temporarily fitted the windscreen and raised the canopy by 20mm as there was an existing issue with head space. In doing so, he's increased the total headroom to around 110mm when sitting on the floorpan of the chassis, bearing in mind he's 6ft 2in. That should be plenty for myself and my brother. We also need to consider how the padding of the seats will affect the headroom, however we should still have more than enough to allow for a crash helmet too.

8th April 2019: All loaded up and off to Essex. It took a lot of work to load it up🙄. The clearance is just 12cm, but seems so much less when you're trying to raise the height with bits of wood 😂. I don't envy Freddie (KC Transport) having to unload it at the other end.

8th April 2019: Finally the day has arrived to have the car sent off to Chris Isaacs Race Cars in Wickford, Essex😊. Unfortunately due to water in the fuel cells and an electrical fault, the car wouldn't start 😒, so had to be towed out by our daily driver (1973 Triumph Toledo) 😂 and pushed into place. Many people stopped to take pics. Some even drove past 2 or 3 times 😂.

5th September 2018: Bought the chassis and had it delivered. The seller was so eager to free up space on his driveway that they let us have it £100 cheaper if we could arrange delivery within 2 days 😁. Having bought it blind without seeing the condition, it's in great shape besides a little surface rust 🤷.

3rd September 2018: After a few weeks of looking, we've finally found a suitable replacement chassis😁. It's a DVLA registered Lamborghini Diablo chassis 😏. The wheelbase and tracking is almost the same, but it is left hand drive though, so it'll still need work doing to it, but should be cheaper than having a whole chassis built from scratch👍.

15th August 2018: Just got the car back from the garage. Prognosis was not good, the car needs a whole new chassis 😭. Luckily they managed to get the engine going again though. Turns out water had got in the fuel tank 😅🤷. Looked good in the garage though. Pride of place as everyone walked in 👍. Apparently the engine is a 'masterpiece' 😁.

26th July 2018: Started sanding back the gel coat and filler to tidy up some of the lines. A very itchy job 😣.

25th July 2018: 2 days of looking the car over and cataloguing the jobs to do. The battery died😒, so a trip to Halfords for an upgraded battery, fresh fuses and bulbs.

23rd July 2018: Delivery day 😏. Bunked off work early to help with unloading. What a sight 😍.
