Default Another one of those build threads...

Hi all,

Have been on the forum for a fair while now and started my build back around May 2010, but haven't been a big poster. Thought it was about time to say hi and to show you all where i'm at. I am using the 2ltr DOHC engine and have just managed to get it running with the help of the forum! Bodywork is nearly all there as are the brakes, so it is mostly wiring and tidying up left to do. Hopefully the picture works...



So this is at its current state, have just sorted out some pictures of the whole build so far and put them up on Photobucket.

Cheers guys, I think I will change the engine at some point once its on the road, quite like the idea of the s2000 motor.

The gear lever, handbrake and gaiters are all from Richbrook, I won them in a competition through Complete Kit Car.

Luke your build is looking great, some really good ideas especially around the filler cap. Where did you get that if you don't mind me asking all the ones I've found are £110 or more.

Also I think your front flexi pipes are an iva fail as they terminate on the bodywork. Ask AshG as that was one of his fail points.

Good luck witht the rest of the build.
