On the stand at Detling Kit Car Show 2009

The first drive

SVA & Rolling Road

Some pictures of the car ready for the SVA - unfortunatly it failed on emmisions which I will sort out over thext week or so.

Also pictures of Dave Walker at Emerald at the rolling road session

Front Wings

Well I thought the rear arches were tough enough to fit but the front ones are equally tricky, I still have some final adjustments to do but theyre getting there.

It's beginning to look like the finished thing now, spending every weekend on it now as I try and get it the SVA before it's no linger the SVA !!! (application has been sent and looking for a date at the end of January)

Interior

Small jobs seem to take ages, like sticking leatherette on the outer dash and tunnel tops, still it's coming together now ....... not that far to go !

More pictures here

Also the Catalytic look horrible but is required for SVA, so made up a stainless steel cover for it - turned out a bit better than I thought!

Cutting the bonnet

Scary! - cutting a big hole in my stainless bonnet!, happy with the result though, need to find some nice metal trim to go round where the exhaust comes out

It now has wings !

Rumour has it that the last possible date for an SVA is the end of February 2009 before the more expensive BIVA tests start - so, because I'm very close the weekends have been a bit frantic.

Been tidying up the engine bay and connecting the rear lights - and Millets are doing ally drink bottles for £2.99 - make great oil catch tanks and expansion bottles!!!

Pictures updated


Been continuing with the never ending wiring - guages are fitted temporarily.

Fitted the rear wheel arches - what a job !!!
