Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Did anybody spot my roadster on the Sunday? Was parked in the club field (well till mid afternoon)
First long run out for the motor and no leaks or brake downs! After finally getting it registered the week before
Managed to buy a steering wheel from CBS to replace the sierra one but weren't hardly any other trade stands

Didn't think much of the show but the 750mc racing made up for that! Tried to get through to the paddock through the tunnel but security was too heavy!
