I suspect that his insistence on re-engineering the steering is the problem. With some simple sump mods and a couple of days spent on the headers, it could have been running ages ago.

But it would have been a complete compromise... The headers do not fit around the steering box on a RHD car - no if or but!

I can understand the insistence on his part... This is to be the car he wants, not a compromise to do it quickly.

As for progress... The escape has certainly slowed progress :y

Other priorities have put it on the back burner I believe
