Great to catch up with you all today. Steve, your Viento looks fab and sounds even better!

The engine look like it was made to fit the Viento, nice car. Mel

Thanks for the comments, I'm pleased with the way that its turned out. It was a relief to have dry weather as I was beginning to think that I would never get to a show in my kit.

I went back again today and someone spotted that I have the front slotted discs on the wrong way around (i.e. the right one is on the left hub and the left on the right) so the slots are angled forward rather than back. Apparently it will only make a difference on track days when I'm really working the brakes hard.

Whether it really makes a difference or not, I'm not sure, but what is obvious is that they are the other way around to the back wheels. Its amazing what big things you don't notice when your working on the detail!

That was me.. It's a nice and essay job to sort out.

Nice to neat you.

Hope you remembered to check your bonnet catches before driving home?
