Today finally saw my build back on 4 wheels, can't believe that it has been 14 months since it last rolled :o
Tomorrow is a workshop clean up day .... Didn't take me long to clutter the whole place up again :rolleyes:
Top marks to Rally Design, all of my components arrived this morning, 24hr sevice how cool is that.
Hopefully over the weekend i'll get all of the brakepipes & fuel lines sorted.
Next week, wire up the engine & run it up for the first time .... Well that is if I can resist the urge to fit the bodywork :D
Really helps with motivation when you can see some light at the end of the tunnel :)

Good on yer Ronnie, must feel good to see some progress. Mines immobile again at the moment, I have got the back wheels off to do the painting of the rear alli panel. It seems to be a big step back when you have to take bits off but they soon go back on again.
Best and all that

Mine needs checking almost daily ( reversing it out of the garage of course) :D

Andy how do you explain why a car that lives in the garage needs £50 of fuel every month :D
Good work Ronnie, remember you've got a fortnight to get free entry to the show ;)
Kind regards
