Default Argggggghhh!!

Starting to panic now.. My IVA date is getting closer and closer, and the car's getting futher and futher behind!!

Within the last few days, my fuel pump has packed in, speedo cable has snapped and wheel arch bracket snapped!!!

I've rewelded the arch bracket, and repaired the smashed up arch (primered, just waiting for paint in the post).

I've contacted speedy cables for a replacement and ordered a new fuel pump off ebay...

I knew i shouldn't have posted my application off on friday the 13th

Hopefully can get it all sorted in time.

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

Likewise from me too David, my workshop is literally 2mins from your container so give me a shout if you get stuck with anything

Keep at it, you will get there no bother, you dont have to sleep at night you know!

Looking forward to there being another roadster on Teesside
