Default A little update

I,ve been busy tinkering away lately....

So the result being that if I don,t have any problems bleeding the brake system,

By this time next week my Roadster will be going for a little test drive, on a private road ,

Tho, today I,ve been fitting a seat runner & its doing my head in , what a bloomin faff on that is

Only other major things to do to the car is fit the tranny tunnel panels, n/s rear arch & a boot lid, & fit the brake/indicator lights to the rear wings.

cheers
andy
