Sorry for lack of updates :o  but I appreaciate the encouragement :Thumbs-up

I have been having a few issues with areas which have needed to be addressed.  I was told the car was finially ready to pickup on Tuesday.............the car is now back at the shop with a list for them to complete which included electrical faults and other areas.

I was hoping to have been at Japshow Finale this weekend in the FD but it doesn\'t look like that\'s going to happen now. I will be there anyway but unless a miricle happens I will have to be in a Frenchie car again!  Banished to the corner of Pod!! :spank

I now seem to be sporting grey hair and a nervous twitch in my right eye! :spank

[rextreme]

Dude, know all about that.

[FLAT4MATT]

Feel for you buddy, I have a project that\'s been in my garage for 5yrs! It\'s a shame it looks like you\'ll miss the Jap Finale but don\'t let that get you down too much, try to think how good it\'ll be when it\'s all sorted.

Dude, know all about that.

It\'s annoying isin\'t it!!

I was only thinking the other day - If only I had spent 3 more weeks on the car (filling holes, general filling, panel gaps & block sanding the fiberglass)then It would have only been in for a respray - It\'s all stuff I can do myself - live and learn!

Thanks mate, it\'s a bad feeling but I can actually feel the end may be in sight! :yes :wiggle

Thanks dude :o

I actually brought all the bits from Rich (Tricky)  It was one of very few kit\'s I had wanted you see and then one day I find a complete kit up for sale, genuine and priced to sell - it was a sign :Giggle

I\'m pretty sure the items where brought through Miguel at Newera, I know the bonnet was for sure (I thought I had stuck up a reply on your thread with that on cause it would have helped, sorry mate, im getting old! :evillaugh )

[interloper393]

[chopper2k22]

Come on Ricco, i still think my car will be back from pips before your cars done!  :Laugh

[RobbieRX-7]

Im hoping to see this at the next gokart trip ric. Me mates collar bone is still smashed, but hopefully he will be coming

[Ricco_04]

Cheers again for the encouragement, it\'s getting there in a way - reads as yes its going to the bodyshop again :mad:  What is it, me or what?! really f***s me off.  I mean, car now had problems with wiring, central locking etc.   Ahhhhhhrrrrgggghhh! :mad:

And relax :guinness

Robbie : Will have to get karting again asap, tell fella me lad he needs to get repaired soon (why I cant remember his name I don\'t know! :King )  If you want to go wit just a couple of us then we can do 3x10mins?  Oh and nice new avatar! :chat

My central locking was intermittent now... sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didnt.

But since another shop fitted the new rad, disconnected the battery and reconnected, seems to be ok....?

WTF?

How very strange! :confused: but deffinately a blessing - nice! :chat   (I might just disconnect mine to see what it does! :Thumbsup! )

I put the door cards and speekers back in last night and now my drivers lock won\'t come back up!!  (it\'s catching somewhere cause it wont open on the key either!)  So I have to go in the passanger side but that wont unlock when I press the key fob because the paint shop recon that the motor\'s gone in the door :rolleyes:  so I have to use the fob to take the alarm off and then the key to unlock it then reach over and unlock the drivers side! :flamed

[rextreme]

My passenger door was stuck jammed,
It wouldn\'t open felt like it would break off if i pulled it.
So I went back.
But they fixed that but said it wasn\'t far from going altogether.

I didn\'t see it though.

Now it seems to be ok.
