Your dog is certainly getting mouths of that exhaust, sounds good that engine, no putters and a really nice sound on it too.

I thought it sounded terrible on the video, reason I only did a short snap of it :D
Phone camera picks up a small vacuum leak and little else, it's very deep and growly exhaust note to it, will get a video once it's back running again, I kinda slipped with the spanners this morning:

Anyway, getting away from oily bits, engine internals, CV's and all the mechanical bits, and off to some of my famously terrible Paint skills:
I'm not sure I like it, but it looks a lot better than all just flat red - I am open to suggestions, especially if anyone wants the original larger image to do a better PS/Paint attempt. Ignore the red mudguard top mounts, just the selection tool gone rogue. (Rouge? :P )
The louvers were supposed to be red on top and silver underneath but it went terribly wrong :D

Well, that's one (still needs it fibreglass skin, has a thin* balsa layer at the minute to form the cloth over and it's allowed me to foam fill the leading and trailing edges for dent resistance)....
On to the always growing list of 'additional shit we shouldn't touch until it's finished but we're probably going to do anyway' - the front mudguard mountings tubes are going, they were originally left separate to the damper mounts so no damage occurred to the suspension if a mudguard got ripped off, but we've worked out a smaller, neater way to do it which gets that curved tube out of the equation. Should be lighter, look a lot neater and gets the tube out of the way of the wing endplates.
Oh yes, you can also see she's sporting some shiny new nerf rails down the sides, to go with the new front bumper that's in progress.
Good for bouncing off trees, rocks and mowing down small children.
*So thin you can see the ribs through it, saves at least 10 vital grams of weight! ;)
