MogLite Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Loads of people have been asking for updates. There has been plenty going on behind in the workshop, and its really taking shape, and begining to look like something. Alas whilst the garage is fine to work in, taking decent pictures is pretty much impossible without a fish-eye lens. So I've been waiting until it comes out of the garage to give peeps an update. Well its coming out of the garage on Sunday, as I have to load it onto my truck to ship it down to Poole to get the exhaust made. Watch this space .........

will_warne Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 oh oh sounds exciting booking my test drive in June when i come back for a couple of weeksBetween Melbourne and Alderlaid at the moment . So can't pop around and have a look I guess I saw it about a month ago and it was looking really good then. It'll be great to see it out of the garage as, even in the flesh, you don't really get a good idea of how it looks. So..... Whens the big date for the first fire up?

MogLite Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 So..... Whens the big date for the first fire up? I've still got lots of engine plumbing and virtually all the wiring to do. So hopefully engine start in March, and a trundle around the paddock in April - not that I've got a paddock It will be ready for June Ali - but you'll have to be gentle with it N O T !!

FridgeFreezer Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just to make people jealous, I've seen it in the flesh recently and it's looking damn impressive, and that's still on the space-saver 37's If nothing else it's a master-work of colour coding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well its out of the garage - height was no problem with the springs out and on the bumpstops. It was a bit tricky with the width though, especially as it was across the double garage so it had to come out at an angle. Well what do we know ???? Steering bar at the front needs to be reworked as the angles are all wrong and the rose-joint is binding. With no PAS you can't really turn the wheels on dry concrete !! Oh and it was raining Apologies to those on dial-up -but I couldn't resist it Yes I do have other photos, but I'm tired now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_warne Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Dribble. I bet your feeling good tonight; getting it out of the workshop for the first time is a massive milestone plus you can sit back and say to yourself "I built that...."

Guest diesel_jim Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Is that the drag link across the front? looks a little exposed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
