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

you'll be okay David as long as you have all the basics right, take plenty of spare parts and trim. We'll get the brakes and emissions checked tomorrow prior to going down.

We'll be fine.....Andrew

Thanks for all the replies.

Had another disaster, went to my lockup to give it a bit of a clean and check things over, found the brake lights have stopped working!

The pressure switch has stopped working, if i can't get hold of one first thing, im going to have to mount a micro switch under the pedal somehow.
