Hmmmmm - they were normal sized cheques - anyway I would have built it if I could have.

If I ever get a double garage I'm going to build myself a GT1 (slowly)

So much for the spirit of whatever :-P

(Thanks for the safety thought though (0: )

Congrats Matthew!

Told you it wouldn't be long!

Cheers

Chris

PS yorks meet next weds!





Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

hey im not havin a dig! i hav seen your site and i realise that it wouldnt be easy to build a car!

however if you fancy writing another cheque il take one for £1k to save me taking out a 3 month loan and then i can buy the deluxe kit! (yea i think i know the answer already)

Congrats on the new toy.

What Sabelts are they (clunk-click style or quick release)?
And where did you get them from?
And how much were they?

Questions, questions always with the questions!

Thanks, They are the clunk-click type, Quick release someday maybe!

They are available various places (MK supplied mine)

I've seen them various places sub £50 each, not sure exactly what price MK sells them for.

I think they're £40ish and as Matthew said they're the clunk-click type. Quick release are not allowed at SVA. Ok to change after tho' I think.
Glad you like the new toy matthew, I'm sure the builder is happy too as he needs the space for the next build and his own conversion to hairdryer power

Yes the bulge covers the tip of the airbox and I think it sets the car off to a 'T'

Makes It a little different too? Yes?
