Apologies for the lack of updates - I don't rearly like writing.
So raidiator on, cooling connected (with the exception of some hose where the wrong size was supplied) and headlights on, the front is basically done.
I would have started on the rear, but I need to install the hanbrake first, which I am waiting for Cateram to supply.

Caterham kit arrived today and typically for Barrow it was pouring with rain, so everything started out wet.

In garage, wax & protection applied, serious build work starts tomorrow.
