I think its ready

Well after a hectic few weeks I think we are ready (after a little more cleaning) for SVA this coming Friday.

I'm not sure but I think there is only one other Challenger been through SVA, I'm sure you will tell me if I'm wrong.

Anyway a few pictures, please bare in mind we have only been building properly since the middle of Feb. and have not woried about cosmetics only getting to SVA while it still exists.

Yes there are a few areas that need some edging.

Do you need 4 tight wheel nuts on each wheel?

Thanks for the comments, funnily it really does mean something when fellow locostbuilders hand out the compliments.

Fog is well over 250mm, authough I must admit it does look low in the pics, and it is central it just looks ofset the wrong way because Tim and I are crap at putting on vinyl stripes.

There are side repeaters, just can't be seen in the pics.

See

1st time pass Norwich

IT PASSED.

Ft suspension wound up as high as it would go to get the lights high enough, bit of trim here and there but when we were told it had failed on speedo accuracy
(1mph all through the range)
I thought that was that, but there was time to fiddle so we removed the perspex off the ft and managed to move the needle round.
Les the tester retested it and wrote out our MAC.

I like that.

It looks good and is different in a nice way.

Is this the one that you had questions about the de dion about or was it one of the others?

HOL, yes this is the car with the dedion, the one we had was completely wrong but Darren at GTS did us a good deal and exchanged it for the proper one.

Flack, Tim was hoping to get to Stoneleigh but we failed to get it registered in time, hopefully get to Diss soon though.
