hair around the mongoose

Mmmm let me think....... definately the car!

Option 1 someone might finish the build and put another 2b on the road. Strip it and there will be one less 2b on the books.

Wifey will not wear a helmet something to do with messing her hair up it will have to be full weather gear or no wife......hmm let me think about that!

Brave man my wife is still nagging about the dead grass on the front lawn from when I stripped the sierra two years ago......

Picture 4 hard too see but if brake hoses touch the suspension on lock to lock they will fail (can't remember but who made this comment on this forum before). At rest/central position they need to bend towards the rear of the car, and some tester's have asked for a piece of rubber hose to cover the pipe unions. Regards Mark

Looks good where did you get the gauges from? I like th eidea of the 3 in 1 unit. Regards Mark

Same as above the arch is as far back as possible but I still have clearance issues less than 1" gap between wheel and arch at the rear and 2.5" at the front. Doesn't look great but OK. I used nylocs and bolt where possible and rivnuts if I could not get the the back of the bolt.

Looking good please show picture when dash is fitted.

All the best for the future.

I have used metal p clips at 7-8inch intervals and as Nick has already said line when going through panels either with rubber tube/pipe or grommets. Have a look at the pictures attached. Regards Mark

Ian, Welcome to RHOCAR, I am currently building a zero and yes everyone in work thinks its a mid life crisis, probably true. It's a great car and well worth the effort, the prices are going up slightly but the car has also improved. Don't under estimate the time and cost of the complete project. The club members are always helpful and somebody near you will always offer support.Put your location on your profile and there could be someone around the corner. Failing that come to Stafford kit car show. All the best Mark

A great acheivement

Thanks jamie, I'll post some pictures when finished.

Going to fit dash next weekend did you come across any problems? Regards Mark

Lucky I wondered if anybody actually ever won these competitions. I.m sure you will get a good price if you decide to sell them.

Good read a true member benefit. Thank you

Great news are you going to Newark?

Cheers Dave looks good.

I had a look at Alan's (Gresvey7) the other day and personally I think its worth every penny, spoke to GBS and they are generally made to order and I need to give them two weeks notice.

DVLA still makes mistakes I don't think the registration was process clear when this was made, thinking about it hasn't improved that much........

Steve, GBS kitspare sell these linky but you could make your own and most builders then use steering gaitors to cover them. Don't look too bad but everyone takes them off after IVA.

Steve, I beleive some test centres measure the 400mm from the side as the widest part of the car i.e. the rear wheel arch therefore you ned to fit the spacers. Regards Mark
