Re: Home Built Hot Rod (Full video build)
This week I finish up a bunch of small things to get the car finally ready for the engineer to give it the tick for the road.

I am now onto my punch list of jobs to tackle on Harry, and one of them is to fix up the paint chips on the car.

Re: Home Built Hot Rod (Full video build)
Your brake test was a bit severe!
UK Ministry of Transport one takes all of about 3 minutes if that.
Is this because you built the car yourself, or just a certain form of Type Approval to get it registered?
We have an IVA test for home built cars, but nowhere near as strict!

This is because the car has been modified.

Congrats Jeff, great to see you out driving Harry. Looking forwards to watching the evolution of the car.
BTW, did you adjust the rear ride height to sort the tyre rub under load?

Re: Home Built Hot Rod (Full video build)
tried buffing Harry previously and did a pretty terrible job, so I decided it was better to get my mate David over to give me a hand and some pointers on how to get it looking the way it should.
