Finally, another post about the J15! I think I’ve worked out why it’s been so long since the last one. In a nutshell I hate doing bodywork as it’s all so final and the slightest mistake has to be lived with for ages. Daft really because as soon as I stuff it into something everything changes.

When I took the car to Andy’s I had real trouble getting it on the trailer because the different offset of the Fury wheels I was using at the time meant that that track was 38mm wider than it should be.
