Hi Rich, buggy is looking awesome and the good weather is on its way.

Problem is it is looking too clean and shiny, you need to find some mud and test it in anger.

Good work Rich, sounds great.

Looks like you have got most of the jobs on your white board ticked off now! 😀

Cheers Chris, Yeah im really pleased Ive got the engine running well now and the cooling system working! - As for the board yeah lots crossed off and no massive jobs left to do they are all smallish ones (and they usally take the time ha ha ha)

that is looking smart
Cheers Danny :)

Rear calipers / brake pads and handbrake cables fitted yesterday, plus a load of the side panels fitted - until i ran out of 6mm button head bolts! god knows where they have gone to!! I will likely find them once its finished!!

Looking at the rear calipers i might have to re-use the old banjo fitting as its a bit of a pig to get to!

Ha ha cheers fellas, it should be highly entertaining when I get her out on the road! when throttled up she has quite the bark and rapid throttle off produces a few entertaining pops!!

Mine is due it's first MOT at the beginning of June I think it is, do you know if you can MOT 30 days early like a car that already has an MOT without loss of time?
