It dried up a wee bit here today James, just enough to get the box in! But I've gotta drop it again to get the linkage in

The 2.1 in my old Blob was nuts, nice and subtle driing around town then went ballistic when I stretched it's legs

Can't bloody wait

Cheers guys

Got round to fitting my RA roof vent today unfortunately it's the wrong shade of White but it's a piece of p1ss to remove the flap at a later date without removing the headlining

Before


All taped up


Shot with an Uzi


Bag fitted to catch the crap!


Done




I need to clean up and paint the bracket and screws so it all looks spot on but it's fitted, that's the main thing

Haven't got the space to build it myself and I wouldn't know where to start

Engine will be built by the ET gang, I know their work well so I thought it would be rude not to plus if anything happens and I built it myself I'd be gutted

Wow, great spec building here Merv! Didn't realise you were progressing with this already. When is your target date for back on the road, next summer? I was impressed by the last car, but this one appears to have gone to the next level.
