Morning Craig. Not cycle wings as I already have those from Mark. I have had some replacement mirror covers made, as on my others the lacquer was coming off very badly. My others were nice but these from Mark are nicer. I have also had a carbon surround made that covers the exhaust hole and a bit of damage where the cycle wings rubbed on the bodywork. Mark has altered my drawings slightly to improve the look and he has also thought about how the two parts to the cover will be put together and the finish of the two parts when joined together. The parts are also not flat as they go over the chamfer at the bottom of the bodywork. I am really impressed with the thought that Mark has taken to make sure it looks "nice".

So the last post of my build adventure takes us back to the beginning.

Had a really great weekend - thanks everyone! After a shakey start I felt like I got my confidence back and started to put in some reasonable (novice) times, coming 0.5secs off TT on Saturday. Unfortunately a lock up on my only timed run in the miserable conditions on Sunday put me off track so a DNF which is very frustrating, but all part of the learning experience! The best thing about it? By Saturday evening I'd forgotten all my work stresses and was feeling myself again - the best (and probably most expensive!!!) therapy there is - speed, beers and banter! Thanks to Dave Cleaver for putting up with my endless set up questions and helping me get the car balanced, it's never felt so good. And to Mrs Loudon for ever so kindly holding an umbrella over my head in the start line yesterday! Thanks also to everyone in the speed series for being generally all round top folks & making it so much fun!!

Just poped into Aldi & picked this up for £9.99 Not the largest but ideal to put in the footwell

Made it to Varese 330 miles - new bushes inbound from the UK on 24hr delivery.

Days 1 to 5... After 4 x 12+ hrs on the road finally time to get a post done. All 4 seasons experienced so far and a few photos.... more to follow and hopefully something in Westfield World Not looking too good Tour Badge Loading up on the ferry First sighting of Millau Viaduct Grand Canyon (French) St Tropez - wrapped up for Breakfast - 140Euro for coffee and omelette x 6

That stainless is going to need a lot of elbow grease ! Lot of car for the money and a good starter seven.

So good ole' Alan got you going again Apparently all jobs get a text now saying who's coming with the engineers phone number. I hate it, there are some buffoon customers who ring us days after, saying they can't get their emails

luckily were on a boat and midway across the channel as I type this. Customs delays were only around half hour once we got through the riots and into the port and other than a 10 minute wait we drove straight onto the boat. We were about 15 mins leaving port as the boat was held so as to fill it.Others weren't quite so lucky as us though, several cars on our ferry were reportedly damaged by rocks being thrown and there's others still queuing to get past the gendarmes and into the port.

Have a good one....more PB's expected

a drop of blue loctight might be a good idea if the screws are working lose

we could possibly get clan McWesty to join in for a wee meet .

Lets hope you can get another in the future. Anytime you are over this way, give me a ring and we can go for lemon tops.

You did a great job Barnevald after a shaky Saturday P1! A great weekend as always with brilliant people. Happy with my weekend, nice to feel like things are now coming together after a frustrating 18 months or so, no-one said developing a car and engine package and twatting it big time last year was going to be easy, but things are starting to work...where's that wood! Few little gremlins to work on before the next outing, see you guys at Blyton. Here's yesterdays T1, twas wetter than an otters pocket! https://youtu.be/yOFuIR7QgY4

Hi All, Just an announcement to all those who have bodywork on order currently or are looking to order in the next few weeks, we have been informed by our supplier that they shall be closed from the 22 July to the 8th August, resulting in bodywork not being delivered to us before the 22nd July unfortunately being pushed back a further 2 weeks. We apologise for any inconveniences this may cause, if you have any queries please contact us for further information. Many Thanks Parts Dept.

Thanks Dave I'll get the hang of it soon! The Father's Day beverage intake didn't help matters!

...And as if by magic, Marcus is back again! (You have a certain window in which certain types of deleted stuff can be restored using built in board options. After that, or if it's not in the restorable category, I'm afraid it would be resorting to backups etc). I thought it looked like the original Boghouse, though I don't think it had the cage last time I saw it.

Oh bottoms! Being the master of the forum has a downside! I was supposed to hit "quote" and accidentally deleted Marcus post! Sorry ☺️

Would be a good idea like in Andys pic to mark the long bolt so you know which one needs to stay attached to the clamping ring to stop it dropping in the tank if it ever needs to be removed again
