 Fuel tank trial tested haven't decided where to put the fuel filler, and trial tested the tank cover, just got to finish off fuel lines to the tank when I decide the final location  My son has just turned 16 and is allowed to start to learn to drive so stuck the L on the back in preparation, he confident that the car is going to be finished soon. |

If I had a son who had just turned 16 and was about to start to learn to drive I would suggest he stuck the L plate on something else as it would be a lot quicker. The joke down the pub is that the reason I am taking to long is that I am building a new car that will be old enough to be registered as vintage when it is complete  Where are you by the way? |

 Have decided to do a custom Centre console with gauges, buttons and a push start button, the wiring loom will now be hidden behind the console, which will also have side panels, gauges and buttons all illuminate blue when in use |

That centre panel looks sexy! How are you going to overcome the immobiliser with the push button start?
