Darn, going to RSIII on the Sunday.

Good to hear its coming together so well, bet that engine sounds good.

would like to go on the Sunday but untill i get some kind of seat belt in the rear i dont really want my daughter in there and my partner said theres no way shes sitting in the back (fair enough!) so it will just be the Monday

Car went staright trough the mot without a problem got to say im kinda relived i went on line to tax it and it said the car was last taxed 10years ago,
my painter has left me down by painting the nose cone and mirrors the wrong shade of yellow so ive got the old mirrors and a blue nose on it at the mo but hope to get it sorted for RSIII
going on the Monday so i hope most of you will still be around
thanks again to all who have viewed and helped me trough the build

Excellent Mark,    Hope to see the car down south in a couple of weeks, I hope you will clock the miles up in it to get the benefit of all the hard work,,  Did you find any mounts for rear seat belts???    they are quite easy to make if you do not mind drilling holes in the car under the seats........

[mpk490p]

yes found some fixing points just need to get the belt and clip from a scrappers!

Are you going RS3 on the Monday Dom?

[Don Pamponi]

Nah, too pi**ed of with the car.  Dont really like driving it the way it is, not too far anyhow.  Would find it hard to be enthusiastic when its so sh*te to drive.

very good work, man. i love to see someone get their car together and be able to document the stages of work. i\'m in the infant stage right now, myself. i know it\'s going to be a while, but threads like this always build strength and motivation. nice color, by the way.

Thanks you will have to post a link with some pictures of yours!!

Just had some good news (i hope) the paint has turned up and hopefully it\'s right this time, if it is i will be fitting a nose cone (currently running round with a blue one) and some new mirrors ready for Monday at RSIII

Excellent news on the paint Mark, must be gutting knowing the car is so close to being finished. I wish I had planned ahead to go to Rotorstock, would have given me some inspiration for my car.

Unfortunately I am working, and can;t get time off at such short notice. Will hopefully see a few pics on this site!

pics shouldn\'t be a problem. i have tons of them. i plan to write a chronicle of my buildup whenever it gets done, but i still have some ways to go, so it\'ll be a while.

Saw your car there today. Looking good mate.

Thanks tried to meet a few people but the rain kinda killed that, found it was easier for everyone to say hello to me as the car kinda sticks out!
hoping to spend a bit more time at the next meeting santa pods good for me.
