Well i'm a happy chappy.
after a not so good start.the battery was flat so had to jump start it once we unloaded the car.
then the examiner steve was late due to an accident on the A127
so i started to think it was gona be one of them days!
only thing i needed to adjust was headlight aim, i even passed emmisions without loading a map! think i got the cat scorchio

lovely looking car, well done!

Could i be really cheeky and ask for a photo of dash? I'm fitting similar clocks to that and would like to see how youve radiused them. I like the layout a lot.

edit: whoops spoke too soon!

Well done that man, the car looks great

Apart from the large MNR sva loan mirrors

Congratulations. Glad you found the place okay!!!


adithorp - 24/2/09 at 03:09 PM

Nice one! (I'm wearing out those keys this month)

Thats one fast build. Is it easier the second time? How many things did you change this time?

Johneturbo - 24/2/09 at 03:31 PM

cheers all
yep i've got some "normal" mirrors and indicators

had been there before ben with the last car, but i know what you mean!!

Vinny, the loan sva kit from mnr does the job not much else needed really

a lot easier second time round i almost knew what i was doing.
dumped the reverse this time round and trimmed down the bike loom and a better colour too


coozer - 24/2/09 at 03:35 PM

Excellent, is that the fastest build??


Fozzie - 24/2/09 at 03:46 PM

John looks well nice

What is the center mirror you used and where did you get it from?


PaulYDP - 24/2/09 at 03:56 PM

Congratulations John!

Have my SVA on 23rd March. What have you done to the centre of your steering wheel, it looks like the same wheel as I have except you have the centre padded!?

Sterling effort!

SVA passes are coming thick and fast now.


supercat - 24/2/09 at 04:41 PM

Bodes well for me you passed with an after market wheel, both me and my Dad have our cars being SVA'd there next month!

Congrats on the pass!


omega 24 v6 - 24/2/09 at 05:28 PM

Well done. Ain't the feeling just great??. I'm still smiling ( and that's unusual for me apparently)


whitestu - 24/2/09 at 05:45 PM

That's where I passed - I think I had Steve as well!

Stu


Johneturbo - 24/2/09 at 07:02 PM

cheers guys/gals
Even thou i have man flu i'm still smiling

the center mirror is a loaner from mnr.
also the center pad, it's nicely shaped foam, i made the one for the clocks out of ceiling tiles stuck together and bodgly shaped using 80 grit paper as you can see!

all the guys @ edmonton are a friendly bunch you'll enjoy the day

hope to meet some more of you lot this year


stuart_g - 24/2/09 at 08:49 PM
