Default The eagle has landed

Finally, 16 months after I first started work on my build table I finally lowered the car onto the ground on tis wheels for the first time I managed to resist the urge of doing this a lot earlier in the build and as a result I have managed to finish all the alu panels, wiring and assembly while up in the air on trestles. Should get the engine in later this week then I can start getting ready to fire her up.

Time for some celebratory beer I think

Smile Well done David

That's brilliant news Dave

Keeping the build up on the trestles certainly looks to have made life a lot easier for you.

I can see that your build is at a very well advanced stage

A huge well done on reaching such a huge milestone .... Ready in time for Stoneleigh 2011 eh !!??

Been following your progress since the start & will look forward to viewing future progress
