Hi after spending what seems to be an eternity i am now reaching the end point. At present i am waiting for a date for the IVA test.
I Started the build last year
the idea was to make sure everything was OK prior to powder coating.

I will post pictures of the build once i have uploaded all the photo's on to photobucket.
I have to say that building the rocket has been a very satisfying project and i cannot wait to get out on the road.
i have even built a trailer so i can hopefully take advantage of track days
Start of build
Gauging the correct size spacers to use for the calipers (couldn't find this in the manual)
Rear suspension
One of my trusty helpers (not much good with a spanner though)
Engine and gearbox fitted
Steering column with support bearing
Time to cut the engine cover
Oh how i looked forward to this, sorting out the electrics proved to be far easier once i decided to go down the after market ECU
First brief run up the street
Time to take in all to bits and have the chassis powder coated
Whilst it was away i got on with painting the other bits of bodywork
Chassis back from powder coaters
New floor fitted
side panels
Rolling chassis (again)
