It's only got the rear brakes plumbed in at the moment, so I've been careful with the throttle, it certainly has potential!
Loving yours though, the period accessories are great.
The bonnet is a freeby if you want it? I'm building a steel one for mine so it's surplus to requirements.

No worries, I'll hold onto it, It's just being used to keep the engine dry at the mo.
I'm in S.W.London/Surrey, where are you based?

I like the idea of chopping the Pop grill shell down. Extend the sides a little and it could look quite like a track T nose. It would need a pair of heavily louvred side panels tho.
Chinno, is there a build thread for yours? I love the altered wheelbase that you've gone for, it's the one thing that never sits right with the original Opus for me.

Yea the accessories are awesome and it pulls like a little train, drove it for 5 hours straight earlier this week in -2 degrees doing 60mph! |

I've heard that a few times now and must agree, back wheels need to go back a little! |

There's a build thread on mine on Rods'n Sods, I didn't put it up on here as you needed a "bucket of photos account" (or some such?), haven't done much to it in about a year as I've been doing the house up, have been plugging away at little bits & pieces, so it will get done.
