Mot (on the road) tomorrow

Postby samco » 13 Jul 2008 20:51

Well guys, this particlar journey has come to an end. After two and a half years of work it is 99.9% finished but another week working on the car is a week of summer lost and I think you all understand. Having built cars before I know it will be an ongoing body of work but I will be giving the spanners a rest and doing lots of driving over the next three months. These pics are of the car taken this evening outside my friends workshop where it is now stored and the MOT is booked for 11am tomorrow. Wish me luck

If it doesn't fit you obviously need a bigger hammer.

Car looks fantastic Samco!

I remember when I took mine out with its' beautiful new paint job a few years back. The first stone chip was devastating... but at least once you've got over that, you can get on with driving and enjoying it!
