Funny you should say that had them on the other way but when I got stone chip plates they seemed to fit better on the other side of arch also lights sit flatter on the way they are so fitted them that way.

if we all did everything the same it would be boring. i like the look from the back. its quite agressive with the angle on the arches. what engine have you fitted? i notice that the exhaust is on the passenger side meaning its not a pinto. also the lack of airfilter through the bonnet has me interested. spill the beans

well done Jeff.

I'm collecting pictures of Haynes Roadsters and it did occur to me that the rear wheel arches are fitted the other way round in some cars.
Once you start noticing there is a distinct difference in appearance. Have a look at finished cars and try your arches before you fix them to the chassis.

Cool Looking good Jeff

Well done with your progress Jeff, your build is looking good.

I am sure that you will soon be ready for the IVA

Is the test booked yet ?

Engine is CVH Air filter may yet have to come through bonnet as had made a duct from carb to cone filter but then found engine sitting too low ( had been okay think it must have settled on rubbers when running it. Have lifted engine 20mm now and have very little room but will still try as Intend to fit Zetec with bike carbs so do not want to cut bonnet if possible. Took it for a run up the road Yesterday BRILLIANT but think I need to recalibrate speedo 78MPH ticking over in 2nd may have forgot to divide circumference by diff ratio

Lesg
Seats were from Kitpartsdirectltd on the Bay paid £150 for the pair, they are remarkably comfortable.

IVA not booked yet as want to complete first so as not rushing about at last minute also letting funds build up to an arm and a leg so I can pay for test.

Thanks for the comments am tempted to run it up the road again but may annoy neighbours.
