2 Months Today.

[David_17]

Well, i got my donor parts delivered 2 months ago, and this is how it stands now...

Got the engine fitted today, the brakes are about finished, just waiting to get a couple of fittings. The seat's bolted in, rear transmision is all finished, suspension is all sorted.

Going to make a start on the dash and wiring next.

At this rate Andy, you'll need to have your engine serviced again before your IVA :D :D :D

[David_17]

Haha. You've got your computer fixed then :D

Can't have much left to do on yours now? The list was only small a few weeks ago :p

Did you go on the trackday last week? Fun?? :D

Yup, just got it back tonight, felt like my right arm had been cut off without my laptop:D

erm..... no, didn,t make the track day, tho I,m still hoping to track it soon.

The list doesn,t seem to be getting smaller even tho i,m ticking things off:rolleyes: , keep finding little half hour jobs that end up being a couple of hours to finish.

Ronnie...........:D I just can,t resist when i,m reversing it out of the garage :D

cheers
