Johneturbo - 13/1/09 at 06:44 PM

I was feeling a bit left out with all the build updates

Just taken some pics of progress. i'm happy with how it's coming along, and the change of colour. i'm sick of orange!!
7 weeks into the build, hopefully i'll have the sva forms in this week

ps i know the steering rack looks odd i need to turn it over Rescued attachment red baron.jpg

Hey Stu.

i've nicked your trick with the wires down with the battery box

Excellent mate well done, you have been a busy boy.
Doesn't look like you have to much major stuff left to do but as you know all the last little finishing touches take ages.

P.S. Good colour choice

ETA: I like the clear lenses on the rear lights.

Glad you like the clear lenses hope the sva man does to

i know your right about the final fiddly bits but i've been doing them at the same time i can multi task

i just need to do some jiggery pokery with the gear change brackets, as they are welding in place now, but its about 6" to far forward... long legs short arms

Well done John, much easier the second time round eh?

The last few jobs always take the longest IMO...
