A bit of a milestone today as the car actually left and re-entered the garage under it's own power. I don't know how big-foot PatrickT drives one of these things - the pedals in mine are spread further apart and I can hardly manage to hit only one pedal at a time. I'm going to have to search around for some real narrow shoes.
The clutch is problematic - I have the slave cylinder piston compressed until it's almost bottomed out and the clutch is still engaging barely off the floor. And I think the clutch still needs a little more disengagement as it's difficult to shift and engage the gears with the motor running. Shut off the motor and it shifts smoothly between gears. I guess I will have to adjust the clutch pedal to ride a little higher so I can depress it a little further and hope that takes care of it.
On a good note I checked the suspension ride heigths and they are almost right on the ERA specs of 5-1/4" front and 5-3/4" rear. The rear is about a 1/4 inch high.
