Thanks Russ

Tho I must say I couldn,t have done it without this forum & all the help from all forum members , 2 years ago it was a "pipe dream" that I thought would never happen.

Building my car has been a roller coaster of ups & downs but thankfully I kept at it ( again with support of many friends from this forum ) & she,s finally finished .

Just the last hurdle to go

cheers
andy

Andy

Have you ever thought about selling your digital camera on the " Antiques Roadshow "

Mind you, that said, it takes a decent photo

Andy your car looks great, did we find out if the rear reflectors need to be vertical, im sure someone mentioned it to Carl last week.
What did you end up doing to cover the tub/ side join??

Ronnie .....setting the date on the camera is you know......technical for me

TT ......Cheers Rob, mmmmm I can smell the bacon butties from here , would be a great drive out over the top of the A66

Steve.....Thanks for your kind words about the car

After the various opinions regarding the position of the rear reflectors I,m still not sure if I need to reposition mine, I know of other cars that have used the same testing station that I,ll be using that have gone thru ok with the reflectors in the same position

I,ve used some flat rubber & edge trim to make a join between the rear tub /side panel joint, seems neat n tidy

Now I,m thinking whether I should drive it or trailer it to the IVA test, be good to bed the brakes in etc .

cheers
andy

Its about time I gave a final update on my build

Well, finally, the IVA is booked but I,m not saying what the date of the test is , other than, its VERY soon ...gulp lol.
I,m gonna be like a "father to be" in the maternity ward come the day .

I,d like to publicly thank EVERYONE from this forum, as in some way you have all helped with my build, reading & learning from other members builds & experience, honestly, I couldn,t have done it without you all, thanks guys .

Ash was at my place today & has took some great photos ( with a decent camera compared to my cheapo camera ), so the photos below will be the last ones I,ll put on the forum until I have the number plates fitted .

Hope you like the pics.





& an "arty photo"
