If ever I,ve needed a kick up the jacksy to get motivated & finish my car....that first drive was IT

I was really impressed at the turning circle, & the steering felt nice & self centered which I was/am pleased with

I,ll have to get spud to come over & video it soon.

David 17......cheers , yes it feels great, its a strange feeling tho, can,t quite explain it but what ever it is "Its Great"

Spud..... I don,t think I can afford a track day just yet, saving the pennies for the test, but if you know of a private road then bring the trailer & that,d be a great photo shoot....yours, Marks & mine all together

Enoch....cheers mate, I,m hoping to go for the IVA in October, things left to do.....

Finish tranny tunnel panels,
cover dash in vinyl
make & cover the boot lid
fit the rear indicators/brake lights
fit mirrors & side repeaters
put new tyres on ( thanks spud )
tidy up the last bit of wiring in spiral wrap/conduit
fit petrol filler hose & cap once bootlid is in place
Oh & fit the battery clamp

Think thats about it.

Yes its a proud feeling, like I said to David as above, can,t explain it, sort of slightly in awe that I can say " I built that" ( with lots of help from lots of forum members along the way, thanks guys).
cheers for the beer....enjoy

cheers
andy
