Good work! Questionable song choices though!

Love the simplicity of the car - two rails, four wheels and some floor boards

Nearly there

Sure is, although I’m going to turn up some collars to shrink over the spindles bringing them up to the dimensions of the truck bearings and seals rather than grinding out the bearings.

An idea I did get from the internet!

I'd be worried about breaking the fibre optic cables going to the body control module or wrecking one of the sensors.

It must actually be refreshing to work on something that isn't massively overly complicated That designed where it's easy to work on

Are the CSLs for sale off the BM?

Unreal amount of effort you're putting into this, while you're at it, and considering the time of year, is it getting heated seats fitted?

CSLs not for sale at the minute.
They’re not too expensive from CM Wheels locally with free delivery.

Heated seats?! There isn’t even a heater
