Cheers,

Well it has no brakes (no fluid!) and i have yet to put in the steering column to the rack so that would make one hell of an interesting
drive!!
I think i'll keep it in the garage till it's done!

I could, theoretically drive mine there, but the lack of front wings and no rear indicators might be a bit of a problem!

yeah, go on jasper, you've got arms for indicators and as far as the front wings go, if you get stopped 'oh, well they were there when i
left officer' or something similar, I'm sure you can improvise!
I thought you bought rear light clusters at stoneleigh, or have you not had time to wire them up?

Got the wings, it's folding the brackets I'm not looking forward to. Done 1 out of 4 so far, and that took about a hour to get right!
The rest of the car has been put together in good Blue Peter style, don't worry!
Ned, the indicators I bought at Stoneleigh will be on the next visit to the garage, which will probably be Monday am.
I'm getting really close to finishing now, just wanna spend every waking moment out their to get it done while the weather is good. Final jobs
are the rear lights, fitting the dash (which is all finished), bolting in seats and harnesses, doing front wings, and lastly bonnet catches and
it's done! Then down to my local friendly garage to get the tracking/camber sorted.
