It’s the old story when you're building a car for yourself. Eighty percent of the time is taken up by the last one percent of the stuff left to do. So what are we busy with at the moment? Well, the motor's in, running and sounds sweet … after we changed the camshaft. This engine destroyed its original brand-new camshaft which was traumatic, to say the least. … Oh dear! ... but that's been put right now and we're on to checking off more items on the "to-do" list.

This is a quick intro to my 17 year old Hayabusa powered Demen Motorsport SR7.
I recently found a puddle of brake fluid on the floor of the cockpit and it looks like a repair is in order.
Parts have been ordered and we will be back on the road soon.
Not a big repair but definitely a pain in the ass.
I'm also doing a test of studio controls with 2 cameras.

John Minion manned our 7Spot Studio controls from Evesham, UK whilst Steve and I went a wandering.
It was a Massive show, ... so many Beautiful cars, Fabulous weather, Great People and lots of terrific Stories.
Speaking of Healeys and Car Tales, we met a wonderful guy named Terry and here's his Healey story.

... In the end it's really all about you, isn't it?
Forget roasting chestnuts! ... This year let's buy some gear for the 7 and then just snuggle up by the fire with a very good book (Centaur) to read.
Jim and John explore a couple of XMAS ideas (SafeView and John Campbell's excellent book ... Centaur), then have a quick chat about NOTA!
... looking forward to doing a lot of livestreams with Nota! ... terrific history and fabulous culture.

When you are building a sports car attention to little details makes all the difference.
There is no shortage of time spent on fabricating parts, testing fitment, tossing away failed ideas and then starting all over again.
Today Craig Harper tells us about one small step in this build and yet one giant step forward for Cobra kind.
