Build Day 14.....BIG CHANGE OF PLAN

Well, my poor old Rover 620ti is to be scrapped. It has developed a fault with the Power Steering pump. To have this replaced is almost as much is the car is worth, so it's got to go. However, the engine in this car is great - a 16v turbocharged engine giving out 200bhp with bags of torque! So I've made a big decision with the engine choice for my locost; rather than, as planned, buy another donor car with a V6 in it, I'm going to use this engine from the Rover instead!

Meanwhile, back on the build, I've been cleaning parts as always, but I've also been out and put my order in for the steel tubing used to make the chassis. It will hopefully be delivered later this week.
