You know Dave your car is really coming together now, and looks really good. I notice your not giving too much away with your shots. Love the belts, they goreally well with the colour scheme.

Comming on very well.

I haven't booked the IVA yet.

I am hoping to be 100% finished soon and will post some photos online.

Im still finding little niggly bits to do.

I dont want to spend the money on the IVA until im sure it will pass 1st time!

One area I have been looking at is the length of my handbrake cables. everyone elses seem shorter than mine? Min are so long they extend over the diff arms but everyone elses seem to stop short. I may need to re-rout them around thr driveshaft like Johnos

Here is a link to a walk around of my car... So far.

Please ignore my wonky reverse light

Big thanks to chris

It's been a while since I posted anything to my thread.

As it does everything was coming together nicely and then I noticed that the bellows on my steering rack were permanently touching the wishbones! A bit of a bummer I thought as surely when I bought the kit this bit should have been a simple bolt on job. I looked a chris' build and he had placed aluminium plates under the rack to lift it a little.

Very generously he sent me enough aluminium froc so I could do the same.

After a quick dismantle and rebuild everything now clears nicely. By lifting the rack though this did cause the steering rack to fouls the heater pipes. When I was installing my radiator I was paranoid that it would be too high so I put this in as low as possible. To solve this I bought some 1" billet aluminium and salted it to the existing radiator mounts. This has lifted it so there's lots of clearance. The radiator is in a much better position as its more in the airflow for the big hold at the front!

Now to fit the cycle wings. I'm sure this will come with its complications!
