Interesting, you went for the left side reverse light. Ace.
Nice project mate.

[RobG295]

Yea, the boot on the right hand side is full of filler, so didnt really fancy attaching a reversing light to there!!

Finished the dash today, i'm dead pleased with it...considering its only cost me about £40. Also theres a random picture of the min and my old mans midget!

[RobG295]

Nope nothing interesting, it needs new knuckle joints, tie bars and shocks up front, so sometime before i go back up to uni ill try and sort that little lot out!

[Down&Out]

Hi Rob,

Glad the Cam is in and going- now slightly regretting selling but pleased that it is giving good service! Any more updates?!

Cheers,
Martin

[RobG295]

Cheers man! No updates, as i'm 200 odd miles away from it! Although its now in our garage as the drive is being re done!

Well took it out for an autotest today, all worked pretty well, except my handbrake was awful!! Sods law says my most competitive time of the day was when I didn't have a handbrake at all so had to left foot brake!! I'll whack a few pics up in a bit.

In other news it will be coming off the road indefinately in the new year, as I don't have the money nor time to sort it out for MOT, insurance etc etc. Also i'm not in the country over the summer so seems a bit pointless to spend all that money insuring when i'll probably only get a couple of weeks driving it!
