First venture into daylight !
richardR1 - 3/8/05 at 09:45 PM

Needed to have a bit of a sweep up in the garage this evening so thought I would take the opportunity to push the car out into the fresh air for the first time. Hopefully it will be able to come out under it's own power next week. Thought I would take some pics of progress so far as it was a little difficult to take any decent ones in the garage. Hopefully not too long now until I can join you guys on the road.

Now must join Owners Club as last job for today.

Ouch.... That is one sharp looking motor. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Looks great. Hurry up and get it finished

That looks sweet!

One of the standard colours or painted?

Red/Black combination looks really good.

Thanks Hellfire. Believe me I am hurrying ( but not rushing)!!!! I was so pleased to see it in natural light, 10x better than under striplights. If wiring goes to plan at the weekend will be applying for SVA then. Had to try and make it look something like right so I dare park it near yours!!!

Cheers Snoopy. Have to say the quality of the kit you guys supply give even a mechanical dummy like me a fighting chance of producing something decent. Most of the guys I go rallying with were very sceptical when I said I was building a kit car as most of them are in the motor trade and know it takes me a while to figure out which end of a spanner to hold. They are rather suprised now!!!

Car is standard gelcoat colours. Took me a while to decide on the combination but I am happy with my choice. Liked the look of the yellow (especially Hellfires) but thought I had better do something different.

Very nice looking car. Hopefully I should be in a similar situation next week.

Good Job.

Are the MK grilles still scheduled to be back in stock for Saturday Snoopy? If so will pop over for one if you can keep me one to one side. Have you got a price on the boot cover yet? That one last Sat looked great.

bike demo car you say ??? i feel another test drive coming on !

dude i wanted to do red with black arches looks great nice one


richardR1 - 3/8/05 at 10:31 PM

Go for it Richard - just after I picked my colour I saw Scotlad on here had done the same colours. I think one in Scotland, one in Yorkshire and one in Norfolk wouldn't exactly be overkill.


Richard Y - 3/8/05 at 10:36 PM

lol its damn tempting i got my little heart set on it... last resort black with chromey bits!!!!


richardR1 - 3/8/05 at 10:47 PM

Got to agree with Snoopy on that one. Of all the cars there on Saturday it was the black ones that showed the dirt the most and they were all clean when they set off.


Richard Y - 3/8/05 at 11:08 PM

you was probably looking at the demo car its still dirty after my ragging i gave it hehehehehehe

smart looking motor rich, another one from "ull" nearly on the road.

Car looks great, I'd get that that form sent of now. Have you checked what the waiting list is for Beverley at the moment?
Good to se another car from Hull on the road.
