Rosco's haynes Build

[Rosco]

Well after 18 months of spending every hour I had spare in the garage or in bed not able to sleep thinking about the next bracket to make, the day finally came when she was to leave the garage for a test drive!

Me and my dad got it loaded on the trailer



Then off down my mates at Roger Clarke Motorsport, there on the end of an industrial estate,

Started off with a few steady runs up and down to see how she went, everything was perfect, just kept going up and down to get the brakes bedded in etc,

Kept pulling in and checking everything looked alright

Then set the brake bias up, just made sure it locked the fronts up first

The electric reverse worked sweet, but didn't last long as the motor pushed its self away, need to re mesh it then put a pin through I think

Also the big reverse gear on the prop was just rubbing on the aluminium side pannel, so need to swage that out a little

Next took it round the corner to my mates mot garage and he check the emissions, bit to high so just mapped it out with the power commander.

Next up, drop it on the rollers and check the speedo was working ok as it was a bit glitchy driving up and down
