Doh!! failed. only a few small items.. illegal indicators ( 6 months after the change from red indicators to orange) , u bolts on back axle too short , a brake pipe insecure. Not too bad i think, quite uneventful trip , engine brmms well no probs,bit smokey but think its a breather error (think charger is sucking oil from sump) only slite mishap was number plate falling off. Retest monday - trip to dvla straight after for tax and number plate transfer and then bring on the summer.

Silly question really, had passenger trip tonight though, does pick up and go well. Few thing i need to sort out though. Front tyres are a little bit too big and scrub on arch when i'm in the car ( more gym time needed too) and a multitude of annoying rattles which will hopefully go when the carpet and door panels are fitted.

Can you get any more Negative Camber on the front as that will help with clearance and steering weight

Right here we go . 99.9% finished still awaiting sun visors and ...err speedo cable and a little touch up to the paint in a few small places that i'm not happy with. Took little trip up the m1 the weekend to Billing done a round trip of about 300 miles and apart from a rattly clutch fork and a small appetite for multigrade she was pretty damn spot on.Its suprising a difference a bit of sound deadening and carpet makes as the trip around canvey was filled with rattles and droning but the trip the weekend was pretty comfortable and better than going ou in the golf. Heres a few pics from last week before the carpet was fitted last friday (it was finished 8pm ,we left for Billing the next morning). and one from the weekend with carpet www.annteak.com/mypics/Billing%202007/target1.html

i've still got the billet fuel rail to fit so that i lose the last remaining ford logo, that will confuse people, i already had a 'mechanic' tell me it was a fiat twin cam while at Billing.
