Default It moved!!

Well as my build thread is lost in the spamalot that is the announcements sections!

Just thought I'd post to let people know I drove the roadster out of the garage yesterday. It wasn't really ready to do it but I wanted to check the clutch etc was working. No brakes though! so only a couple of metres

I have a vid so if anyones interested I'll put it up, its really not very exciting as the car looks a bit tatty at the min

Hoping to get a good few days on the roadster over xmas and get the bodywork fitted properly.

I've just started to fit my seats so just welding in the frame for them to bolt to, once thats in I can fit the side panels properly, then the scuttle.

Its slow progress but getting there. Target is May, but we'll have to see.
