Thanks tjoh84, what are you building ? you're just around the corner from me in Shefford.....


tjoh84 - 23/11/07 at 10:15 PM

nice sound, love the wheels.

Are the rear arches being spaced out differently? Look a bit big IMO, but it might be a style thing.

Looks and sounds nice! It's amazing what you can build for 250 notes!

Thanks RK

I keep a spreadsheet of what my 'Locost' Viento has cost me, but I daren't look too often. Once this one is done I may build a book Locost properly just to atone for my sins..........

Hi Dangle_kt

I was worried about the rear wheels not filling the arches, but as I get more kit on the car it settles down and they centralise more into where I visualise them being. I may space them out and/or drop the suspension once on the road, not decided yet !

If your not far from Shefford, then you can't be 'that' far from me.

Looks good and sounds great, keep it going.
