Al,

You will spend a small fortune buying the LEDs from Maplin. I suggest you search around and if you can wait then buy them from HongKong as they are pennies instead of the pounds that Maplin and such charge :D

dont know if you have seen the mod they do to the standard gear linkager that means you only need a simple round hole in the bulkhead rather than cutting the big square hole

Make sure you can get enough movement from the gear change to select all 5/6 gears. It was a mod I wanted to do with the mini gear change but could get enough sideways movement from it. Your progress looks good though.

Also Im sure the lights have to be E marked to be legal. Something along those lines anyway.

Mutley has his very own private garage now and only a metre from the house - lucky boy. However not much progress has been made on the actually shell - need to buy a headlining, so then the windows can go in and so on and so forth.

Progress has been made on the electronics/electrics, a few pictures to wet you appetite.

Oh, first here is an outdoor picture before he got moved!

Quick (and long overdue) update:

Front subframe is complete, hubs are built (4-pot vented brakes). Rear beam and swing-arms are also fitted.
With a bit of luck, in the next month he'll be back on four wheels for the first time in years.
