luego-lo-cost 99.9 % finished,vauxhall 16v 2.0,twin 45s de-dion rear set up


Its that 0.01% thats bugging me at the moment!

Billy if you need an extra pair of eyes to look over your car before sva u2u me and i will pop over one evening(been through Exeter and the blokes ok but efficent)

Mark when your test comes up theres a stop off at okehampton if you want (25 miles from test site ,night before if you want?)

thanx barrie for the offer, ive now realised she will fail, ill just look forward to having a list to work from. having looked at the car closely im gonna be pushed for time with only a week to go (rolling road today and speedo is abit far out .........water leaks, and dodgy throttle linkage etc etc

Barrie, a superb offer, I might well take you up on that, it might be for 2 though, Robinbastd wants to come along too (plus I need him as support wagon, I have an impressive SVA first aid kit brewing!)

Moral support,yes. Inappropriate sense of humour,yes. Cigarette rolling,yes. Large estate car,yes.
Support wagon..........not quite so sure.

Ian

cool we can all meet up, drink coffee, walk around looking at the cars, and spill coffee on any Duttons we see there.he he he, or any kits with dutton on there tax disc

only joking Mr G. honest, whoops ive done it now

ive just realised that im gonna need a rear view mirror on the middle of my dash cant find 1 thats eu marked and im almost out of time.dam

Billy,

Don't fret about markings - just find one that's big enough, and has nice rounded edges.

I made mine from bits of a standard car mirror, but you may not have time to do that - I'm sure that someone on here will tell you of a saloon mirror that'll do the job.

rgds,

David

Drill the bottom where the sticky pad goes and screw it to the top of the scuttle with a reinforcing plate on the other side or block off the gap in the roll bar so you can't see back through it then you don't need one. Vans with solid back doors don't have one.

cheers lads, i just knicked a old one off a m8, hope i can sort it. looks real naff tho
