Just thought I'd share progress with you

Car now complete from rear to gearknob!!! Scuttle needs bolting down, and all wiring thereunder needs connecting. All side panels are painted - just bonnet and front arches left to paint. Then engine plumbing/hazards/lightbar to do (apart from bleed brakes)

looks nice and tidy but shouldn't the fog light be to the right of th centre line of the vehicle

What did you use for the boot lid? I ended up making mine out of ally, royal pain in the ass!


Simon - 6/2/05 at 10:27 PM

Om,

Fog can be on centreline or to the right.

Mark

High quality ply Looks great until I open the lid

Looking good, however Mr SVA may not like your "V8" badge, probably best to take it off until after the test. Crazy I know every car on the road would fail the SVA because of the badges and number plates ! I presume you also intend to turn the roll bar bolts over so you can fit nut covers.

keep going the end is in sight...

V8 badge is from a type approved car

SD1

If he argues, I'll pull it in front of him. After he's written out Ministers ticket, I'll stick it back on

After test, I'm going to mould it, and from mould make some out of transparent resin, put a bulb behind and use them as side repeaters!!

What is... and where did you get... the cover for your boot?

Is it, as it looks, black plastic 6mm thk??

John,

It's plywood covered with vinyl - I got it from my garage

It's mounted using cabinet hinges (which spring closed so no "lock" required).

It looks very smart.

My only criticism is the back lights, i cant get away with the square trailor look. Much prefer round ones. Personal taste though and i wont be sat behind it

think you'll find that's actually the square sprite caravan look
