got the beast on the road today, drove it to my new house! more fun than i thought it was possible to have alone.
plus, it all worked ok, except the sparks from where the altenator was cutting thru the steering column. nearly got all the way thru too...
still, that makes all the crap worth it, just a spot of bodywork (custom bonnet and 'boot'
) and it will be ready for the SVA man to laugh
at!
Come on Joel, we need to see some updated pictures!
it looks just about the same as it did then!!!! i got a number of funny looks, believe me. no lights, bodywork, plates.... essentially me and an engine!
Fantastic! How far did you drive?

car wandered a bit on straights, but the tracking was only done by eye so perfection wasnt expected. Isn't that FUN!!!!? Yes, yes it is! LOL
Alan B and I did that with mine not too long ago (just around the block, too scared to drive on a public road in the city) and the feeling is still
fresh in my mind. You must be very upbeat about the project at this stage!
Very very cool Joel! Congratulations!

thanks MrG, i am indeed a happy guy! plus my new house has enough of a yard to move it about a bit! gonna be tricky making the bonnet etc, but i
reckon i just need to keep moving and all will be well.
You've inspired me to go out and work on mine. You're right, a little bit at a time and it will eventually get done.

Well done mate.
You´ve inspired me to be annoyed that I´m here in Barcelona and not able to work on mine!
