SVA pass edmonton
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
i'll see you on the roads soonish

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!

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?

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

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.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

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

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
