Thought I'd put the wheels on. Looks more like a car now. Still a long way to go though. Started to lose motivation puting the wheels on has helped a bit.:)

Well done Bill, it will be so much easier to move around the workshop now. Keep up the good work. I have been forcing myself to work Sat & Sun to keep my project moving.

What is your next big milestone? Engine fitted?

I'm hoping to be at this stage in a couple of weeks, i've got all the bits, just need time to put them together. :rolleyes:

Looks good Bill! Keep up the excellent work. I too know the difficulty of keeping motivation up. This forum and looking at peoples build progress always help spur me forward.

I have materials to finish off pedal box and then roll bar. Trying to keep down spending at the minute. I also have to connect steering column to the rack, I'll have to search the postings to find the best way to do this.
I still have to modify the engine sump and get the prop shaft done. The list is endless :)

sorry, i,ve only just seen this thread.

Looking great Bill, a big well done getting to the rolling stage, :cool:

When connecting the steering column to the rack, be aware of the diameter of the thick walled tube you use, as it passes very close to U2 , I personally "stepped" my steering column extension to accomodate this .

Best wishes for the next stage of your build.

cheers
