By God it’s been a while! In fact it has been weeks since I last posted anything on this blog, the reason is that I basically have not done anything to the car since it was essentially finished. Since then it has been sitting in the garage waiting for the rain to stop. But the [...]
The other thing I did this weekend was to add a couple of Gulf Oil decals I got off ebay months ago. I fitted a large Gulf logo to the driver and passenger sides of the car. I also fitted a smaller logo to the nose cone but I don’t really like this so I [...]
Believe it or not, this weekend saw the 5000th visitor to the kit car build blog site. It seems only a short while ago that we broke 4000 so I am delighted with the continued interest and support the blog is getting. I hope visitors to the site enjoy it as much as I have [...]
This is just about it, SVA test tomorrow! No more waiting, no more wondering whether it will all come together. It will either satisfy the tester or not. Either way I am not too worried. I think it will pass as MAC#1 have a lot of experience and know the areas that need to be [...]

This has probably been the longest I have gone between writing blog entries since I started the project, the reason is that there has just been nothing to write about. Since that disappointing day on the 21st of July when I had to postpone the SVA test, my car has been sat at MAC#1 looking [...]
I arrived at MAC#1 this morning full of enthusiasm and optimism for the SVA test but almost as soon as I arrived, it was clear that the chances of the car being ready for the SVA test were virtually zero, in fact, the car was exactly as I left it last week so none of [...]
