My wife does drive but doesn't seem very interested in the car although she is really supportive of me and my silly ideas . I do have a list of people who want a ride in it though.

My roadster, once finished, will be safe!

My mrs has a mini cooper sportpack in the garage, under a dust sheet, which is looked after better than me!!!!! I am not allowed to touch that, except to check fluids and run it every few months (its done 300 miles in the last 5 years!!!!)

So she can keep her hands off my car

Ginge, all looking good but just an observation of your front uprights, the part of the upright where the track rod end attaches hasnt got a radius on the edge. If you get a picky examiner it may pose a radius problem.

Some people have passed fine with standard uprights but i just didnt want to risk it on mine so i smoothed off all the edges with a flap disc, the test fee is high enough without having to fork out for a retest for something stupid

Mark,

Thanks for that, I subconsciously assumed, that Ford manufactured parts would be OK.

Obviously having thought about it that is not necessarily the case.

I will be softening the edges this weekend. Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers Ginge
