The tender is 100% done (and it only took me 2 days lol), but it hasn't been UV'ed yet. I started on the drivers a few days ago but got burnt out and haven't touched it since. I'll continue work on the drivers tomorrow though (i've been just really burnt out and had a massive lack of motivation for the last few weeks, but i've been pushing through with content anyway). The engine has a bit of the cowcatcher done but not much else.
