After the test drive




I've been neglecting my blog for some time now. But here's an update of the build.
At this time I'm nearly finished, only some finishing touches to do.

The steering bushes from westfield where to small so I've had my steering column axle reduced by a few 10's of a milimeter.
The complete body is fixed and I've already made a little test drive. For some unknown reason I forgot to take pictures or film this happy moment. Really feels good to drive your own creation the first time. Before I could test drive the car I had to fix 2 problems, one was an electrical ground problem, and the other was a problem with the clutch. But both where found and solved rather easy.

part 2 of the build





After some delay I shifted in a higher gear today and started again. I've fitted the steering column
and the body. Last week I've added a light to the NB cluster for the heated window (took the one from the NA cluster)
