Mr MK9R,

I have used your website as a source of guidance, inspiration and quality control during my MK Indy build so far, as both your car and site appear to be of a very good quality.

However I am fast approaching the same state of build as currently shown on your website. Please, Please, Please, Please update your site with more photos and words of wisdom to help propel me onwards with my own build.


Is that any help??????

Cheers

Nick

Definately a cracking site, many many people on here reference your site as a source of info and i myself have been pointed towards it on more than one occasion......and not by you either

It is the best way to share your experiences and working methods with the other builders out here and you seem to have a weath of innovation and engineering solutions available on your site.............dont stop now!

Dont go updating it too soon as it makes me think that Im catching you up.

Im just starting the electrics and my car looks like a rats nest, so on second thoughts you had better pull your finger out.

Looking forward to the continued story

Dax have put a bumper bar on each front corner to hold thier indicators and side lights.
This allows you to lower the headlights below the line of the bonnet and also excludes everthing behind the bar for SVA conformity. If you have a look on the DAX site you will see what Im talking about.

Im definitely going to try it

Cheers,

Yeah I know what they do and what they're for. I was thinking of going down the same route, but haven't got round to doing anything yet. Are you expecting to do anything in the near future?

Cheers
