Back on it's wheels at last
 
Today finally saw my build back on 4 wheels, can't believe that it has been 14 months since it last rolled :o

Tomorrow is a workshop clean up day .... Didn't take me long to clutter the whole place up again :rolleyes:

Top marks to Rally Design, all of my components arrived this morning, 24hr sevice how cool is that.

Hopefully over the weekend i'll get all of the brakepipes & fuel lines sorted.

Next week, wire up the engine & run it up for the first time .... Well that is if I can resist the urge to fit the bodywork :D

Really helps with motivation when you can see some light at the end of the tunnel :)

Sounds like you are really enjoying your build, don,t forget the video of the first start up:cool:

You,ll soon be taking it for a little test run;)

cheers

The thought hadn't even crossed my mind Andy :D :D

I have no idea why Junior has fetched my donors propshaft out of the shed, probably thinks it may come in handy for something !!?? ;)

Good on yer Ronnie, must feel good to see some progress. Mines immobile again at the moment, I have got the back wheels off to do the painting of the rear alli panel. It seems to be a big step back when you have to take bits off but they soon go back on again.
Best and all that

Andy how do you explain why a car that lives in the garage needs £50 of fuel every month :D

Good work Ronnie, remember you've got a fortnight to get free entry to the show ;)

Kind regards

Rumour has it that Santa is bringing me a new prop for christmas :)

I don't think i'll be able to wait that long :o

My test track awaits at the end of the drive :D



Will try & get some photos up after the weekend ( Once things are looking a bit tidyer )
