6 week Roadster, update
Hi Guys.
For those who saw my post a couple of weeks ago, about trying to get my Haynes roadster finished in 6 weeks
in order to brink it back to the UK by mid December for it's SVA
 Taken 28th Oct
Unfortunatly rain has stopped play for today, so thought I would post an update.
Well it's finaly off the build table and onto its wheels. 
If it ain't chuking it down tomorrow then I intend to fit the engine.
Wish me luck, coz I got to do it on my own.
Well with the help of my trusty Massy Ferguson of course 
David

In spite of the quick build that looks extremely well done, keep it up 
just how small is that steering wheel btw?

Looks good mate - keep at it!
Cheers

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!

Believe me I get into enough trouble with that one without going for anything bigger
And yes that steering wheel is a bit silly.
But it's only a temp.
I got a nice new shiny one to go on later.

nice dash
I find the JCB very handy as the back arm can reach into the garage, just a long crane really

Nice looking car, well done on the build so far.
Is that you on the back of the tractor? or are you applying for husband of the year award next year???
Keep an eye on the rads on the wheel for SVA. Cant tell from the ics if they will be OK or not. I used aftermarket wheel for my test but had to ensure
no holes in spokes, correct rads etc and also had to used collapsable boss.
