The uprights are on their way! Westfield were true to their word and shipped them out, along with a number of other parts, at the end of the day on Friday. Have been tracking the parts from Westfield - they should arrive on Tuesday at which point, if all goes well, I will be able to get the wheels on the Mr. Westfield and get him off the build stands, ready for his engine. In the meantime . . .

| Captive nuts welded in |
In the search for things to do while waiting for the uprights, I welded in two captive nuts to support the ECU panel. Now all I need is the ECU. Hopefully that should be shipped out this week.
I also wanted to see how the body panels fitted together - there is now a car in my guest house. I realize now that the rear bodywork needs trimming to fit over the chassis - fitting the panels together made that clear. The panels all went together well - they had all been pre-drilled, which was a surprise - I was not expecting that. However the rear wing does not fit well near the lights - it doesn't look like it can be adjusted. There may need to be some disguising done here, as I doubt the gelcoat is thick enough to stand sanding/rubbing down.

It is exciting to see the Mr. Westfield looking like this - can't wait to have the body on the chassis. Unfortunately, while testifying the rear panel, I noticed a crack in the finish - caused in transit - looks like I will need a new one.
