MOT PASSED!!!

As above, it's been very costly and painful BUT it's awesome. I now know how james may felt in the AM V8 N24 on topgear, by the time I was home from work my shirt was wet through! The car does still need a lot of work as the lower wishbones are shot and I fancy a carbon dash, 1.6 gearbox, some R1 ca...

Gone for the last bit of electrics and MOT today, drove it for the first time on the road, been really tricky trying to get time with having a long commute now. The drive their was ace, it's quick and very stiff and it sounds nice :)

Photoes if it passes, wake if it doesn't!

Cheers

Flux may help as they do grey imports and Q plated if it's known why it's Q'd.

It does usually cost a lot more as the number of markets are cut right down.

That may be a legit way of doing it!

Got some more done today with the kind help of Rolty. We disconnected the hand brake cables and rear hydraulic flexis and lowered the rear beam. The old bushes were screwed so I'm replacing them with solid items. Windscreen took 3 minutes to fit when I knew how, mega easy on my own! Biggest problems...

I've got 9 days off starting tomorrow so I will take some pics as I go. To inspire me further my brother also has t...

Went down today with George and Jon today, got some stuff done but due hang overs and crying over breaking my camera not as much as I hoped. Still waiting for bushes, hoses and seats. http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v234/148/109/513975421/n513975421_2938374_508.jpg http://photos-h.ak....
