Default Progress Picture

Hi all,hope you all had a productive weekend.

Seeing as I finally got most of the body work fitted, and Stoneleigh is fast approaching I thought I would finally reveal my car to the forum.

Wanted to keep it under wraps until I was happy with it.
Any comments good or bad appreciated.

Cheers

Gus

Thanks guys.

Still working on the misses for the money for IVA etc. Lucky enough there is a VOSA place in Taunton, about 4 miles away from my house.

Worst part is getting it to Exeter for DVLA inspection. Got to get a towbar fitted to the tintop then hire a trailer.

I bought the book and started building the chassis in October 2008, roughly 18 months then.

Gus,

Very tidy, it looks fantastic, I am jealous and cant wait to have a rolling chassis let alone body work.

Looking good mate not long now me thinks.

Cheers Ginge

I didn't realize that you are lucky enough to have an IVA testing station in Taunton

Life on easy street for you then

Just give me a thought when I have to drag my sorry ass up to Exeter .... It's only about 120 miles .... What could possibly go wrong !!??

Thanks for all the comments.

Trying to get there slowly but surely.

Currently making another chassis at work in my lunch breaks, for my mate Dave who helpped with the electrics and cad drawings that I post up.

Once the chassis is all finished, I'll twist his arm to sign up to the forum, and post some pictures.

Cheers

Gus
