Default The last hurdle

Well guys i think i've almost finished, got the replacement speedo cable in the post today, and is now fitted and working...

Booked in for IVA on Friday morning - Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but can't wait to get it on the road!

Wish me look, hopefully all will go well, but we all know how hard these tests are.



Dave

Default One year...

Wow,

you only started your build a year ago, in May? Weren't you looking around for a place to rent within which to build it? Blimey you've certainly been busy.

It puts some of us to shame. I started welding my chassis together in May last year too and still haven't got it on to its wheels yet. My ETT (estimate time of test) is Aug 2013!

Look like you've done a nice job, I appreciate you posting your pictures of your build and keeping us all inspired.

Goog luck with the IVA.

Great memory! I was indeed looking for somewhere to rent around may time last year. Found something a few months later, and got my donor gear on 6th July 2010
