Hi Paul and Robin,
Well the state of progress is that the airframe is complete and
painted without any go fast stripes, after completion and some hour's
up I will apply any changes.
I have attached some photos of progress.
The engine will go in this week so I can complete the cooling and all
associated duct work and cowls.

Paul that is the water pump on the right, The pump is a self contained
Toyota pump that delivers about 20% more than the stock N.B..
It is also much lighter and puts the pump down low allowing maw to put
a header tank high on the firewall. The original pump would have had
no head and any loss of water would of had it sucking air.
