Yeah, I'm quite bummed out by the delay too... but I can't push the deadline on this project, it's as much a labour of love as it is the development for a conversion kit. I'll make sure it's worth the wait!
Also, I can report to that progress has been satisfactory and pace is picking back up. Some recent mileage gave me very useful input for further improvements on the car, and at the same time the new design is getting there - the way things look now, the front end is nearly done
