Beautiful, bloody well done! If it rides half as good as it looks it will be fantastic.

RingDing · 20-04-14, 09:54 PM

Phew! It runs! Still a lot to do but what a relief!

And now it moves under it's own power! Can I get it ready in time for the Spirit of the Sixties run in two weeks? It'd be a great shakedown run...

I'm not going to make the Spirit of the Sixities, I've no paperwork from the DVLA yet, but it is finished! Soon as the V5 arrives it's MOT time and I can start racking up some miles.

The V5 is here, the MOT has been passed and it is on the road!

Looks fun!

A few teething problems are to be expected - it's all part of the experience!
