Now the car was off the trolley I could finish mounting the suspension, finalise the brake lines etc.

That's for the owner to decide (but I hope so...).

So finally I got the car on the road, preliminary test drive seems good, everything major works, no horrible noises. I'm a bit restricted at the moment as it isn't road legal here in Ireland but I have an import inspection booked for next Wednesday and it normally takes a week after that to get registration plates. I have a long list of minor jobs to do but hopefully it will be smooth from here.

So as a reminder, this was the car three and a half years ago.

The hedge has certainly grown!

There are no bonus points for finishing it before CLM, so maybe slow down a bit.

That looks brilliant. Love all the details; the colour, the seats, the wheels, the filler, the porno trailing arms - just lovely, all of it.

A James Lipman/John Glynn article on your car would be great :-)
