    Tigerseal, the hard part is the fibreglass has warped with storage before I got it, so getting it to the right shape for the Tigerseal to hold it.

    All the wiring is just about done, the only things that need doing are the indicators in the mirrors which couldn't go on until the scuttle & screen were fitted. It's been propped up against the workshop in the back garden since last October. So today brought it around the front to refit it...

    Not sure I should have bothered

    Changed the front radius arm bushes on the Jimny a few weeks ago for castor correction ones, I got a spare set of radius arms & fitted the bushes before I started, 2 hours start to finish. Yesterday I started to tackle the rears, 4 hours later I had 1 off & almost back on, but couldn't quite...

I know it won't...

Most things seem to still work which is good, I've a bank of 3 switches to put back in for hazard, fog & blower. But as usual it's raining again so not likely to get...

    Lotus 7 (Replica) Build Discussion

    Interesting question on emissions, you need them to do a 02A Visual Emission check, rather than a 02B Metered Emissions, but I'm not sure you get the choice, a Q or Age related is nothing to do with the IVA test, that is all about registering. If you engine is post 1975 (which it is) I think...
