On The Road!

Well, that's it. She's on the road. Got all the paperwork today. I then got the plates made up and fitted them, and that's it.
Here she is:




Also had a short drive in it tonight. Seems to be a great little car to drive. Very, very powerful, though, so I'll have to take it steady at first, especially in the wet.

The completion has been a long time coming. I didn't think it would end up taking 5 years, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it and have learnt a great deal in the process, not least skills like MIG welding.

This is not the end of this blog though. There is always more work to do on these cars. The next step will be to look at fitting a windscreen and some wet weather gear.

Re-Tests and Inspections

OK, so the car went in for it's re-test on the 5th, and passed :-)
Very relived. However, we are not quite on the road yet. Had to take the car to the DVLA today for an inspection. Everything was OK, so they should be sorting the paperwork for me in the next couple of days - Keep Watching.........
