Completed 7 for NZ summer
 

Hi all and Merry Christmas From New Zealand. After 5 years of build my 7 is now finished and road legal just in time for our summer. here are a couple of photos. Cheers Brendan

That looks well tidy Brendan... don't ask me why but powder blue really suits the fact your in NZ land of sky blue and long white cloud lol .....enjoy your summer ....I have a few months to wait to get mine out.

Nice motor,Kev have a look at the IFR approach in to Queenstown NZ on youtube and there is nothing but cloud untill about 500 ft.:eek:

That looks really good. Have you fitted gravel tyres? I was shocked when I first went to live there how many roads didn't have any Tarmac. Nice location your in as well

Very nice indeed Brendan! Congratulations, I like it!

I am very interested in how you made the wind shield, looks like you have attachment points for a hood? I'd like to know how you did that too, as well as how you attached the spare wheel in the back : I'm planning to do that too.

Do you have a blog or a website where we can see your built, or can you share these info with us please?

Thanks :)

Hi Sylvian, I got a local NZ company to make up the windscreen surround and laminated screen, the hood fasteners screw in to the frame as the glass does not go all the way into the frame, and as for the spare wheel I bent up a u for the base and no plate mount out of 19mm tube and mounted it on the fuel tank mount bolts and made up a mount bracket from 50x3mm flat the weight is taken by the lower mount and the upper bracket holds the spare about 10mm off the rear tub heres some photos http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps2823dba2.jpg http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps2116828a.jpg http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps313c294b.jpg http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps3f9113fa.jpg Cheers Brendan.

That is one well tidy build. Is it just me that thinks that with each build completed the bar is getting raised even higher, I have to take my hat off to a lot of builders that have finished their cars, well tidy
