Red face 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

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

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

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

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
Enoch

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

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

Kind regards

John
