Sold them 10 mins before I was going to stuff them in Geoff's tent to a young lad restoring a Jago jeep.
I will try to bring the wing stays to Newark if I remember but please remind me nearer the time as my memory is not what it used to be.

ps I sold the seats to a young lad restoring a Jago jeep.

V8 Viento, Been Building for 18 months.
MoT'd last weekend, and SVA on Tuesday.

Just found a leaky brake union... NOT good with SVA in two days time, and no brake shops open on Sundays.

I think the male Nuts are too short and I need to remake the pipes with longer nuts. also got to remove the bloody calipers again to bleed up..

This could be my Braking problem we discussed earlier.





1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Best Regards

Just finished a Locost except for a few cosmetic touches after 4 & a bit years, a good check over required & a clean and polish. SVA applied for last week, asked for a date in early June.

Just finished (and I mean just) a Velocity. Taking it to MOT centre tomorrow for pre-SVA check on Tuesday. Taken about 2 years to complete.

Building a Velocity, on and off for 18 months. Rolling chassis stage. Donor engine still in car but I think I've secured the use of a hoist now so will get it out shortly. Once out I am still troubled by the prospect of joining it to a type 9. Once that is done I think it could be quite quick to finish, say, urmm, at least a year!

Velocity

Hi

Velocity finished & on the road, now looking at a change of engine (poss bike over the winter.

Bug1,
The chassis number that Luego gave me was not accepted by the DVLA so they issued me one at the inspection.

Picked up a velocity kit in January. Lots of bits done, need to connect the engine up and start on finishing it off. Would be nice to get it done before the end of the summer. Just short of the windscreen which luego have the money for!

Viento Build

Started my Viento build about two years ago. Owes me about 125 hours and more cash than I want to admit to my wife. What's left ? Engine and gearbox to install (Modified longstroke '386' Rover V8 on Edelbrock 500 4 barrel, all ready, just not in yet), Bonnet, scuttle and dash to fit and wiring to complete. Hoping to running and driving by the end of summer and SVA by the end of 2006. Interested in any common Viento SVA failure points so that I can address now. Will post photo when I get to a machine with some snaps on.
