Progress so Far!

Hi All,

once again I thought I would this pic up there, to show my progress, and also in case any of the Eagle-eyed amongst you can spot any (deliberate) mistakes so I can rectify them now rather than later!!!

cheers,
Steve.

very nice!

i may be wrong here, but i think your front tyres are the wrong way round (seriously) can't see the back so i don't know about them.

when looking from the front the grooves should point down, so that when they turn water will be thrown to the outer edges. i beleive the way they are now, the draw water to the middle, causing a build up and aquaplaning.

otherwise, very nice!

nitram go there before me

thanks both for spotting the first obvious ones... you would have been really foxed if you could of seen the back ones aswell, as Three are the wrong way round meaning thay MUST be wrong, but I have SIX team dynamics altogether and two Superleggaros so they are correct altogether - I just grabbed the first four I saw when I wanted to put it on the ground last week after waiting ages to finally get my hands on some driveshafts!!!

As for the front cycle wings, I am afraid I am still waiting for the brackets from MAC#1 for them, but they said I would have them by this week coming so thats a relief!
cheers,
Steve.

I've just loaded the seats in the car so that I can put the subframes on them at work tonight - I don't have what most would consider a "demanding job"....
So hopefully, they'll be done tonight and then it's just one internal Ali panel to do!
One of the rear lamps still needs wires taking to it, but apart from that I think I'm nearly there!!!
Well, nearly there apart from the things I'm still waiting for from MAC#1, that is.....

Cheers for all the (appreciated) great comments guys!

Steve.

Hi Rich,
I've (sort of) tested most of the electronics and you're electronicery wizardy has definitely been imparted in some on me as most of it seemed to be fine!!!!
I do have a small prob at the mo. with the hazards, not working, but wanted to have a good look myself before bothering you with it just yet - in case I've done something different to your instructions, or just to get an idea of what to tell you I think it is!
either way, I'm afraid I may be in touch about that sometime soon!
One thing though, the ignition and start buttin work, cos I couldn't help myself - even with no fuel and no exhaust ]

cheers,
Steve.

Oh and I'm pretty sure that instead of just catching up you'll be flying past my state sooner rather than later!!!

this dog is so blinking soppy that even when he does something really bad, I don't have the heart to really give it to him!!!

Is Col the 2000's version of people being off with "Decathlon" thumb (I think thats what it was called, the game where you have to sprint, polevault, long jump etc,- all by smacking the crap out of the L & R Buttons!!!)

DarrenW, thanks Darren!
I'm quite pleased with the colour, which is down to Mark's persuasive abilities the most! (and we all know how good They are!)
It should look a bit more turquoise, as I think the tarpaulin I'm building it under is tainting it a bit bluer than it actually is!

Cheers,
Steve.
