Still a lot of work to do on the interior before I fancy letting people photograph it.

I'm actually thinking of going with a stripped out interior as I hate doing interiors so much!

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything.

Since the last post the car has passed an MOT and has been on the road (The look on the MOT testers face was good). Suffice to say it's quick :o .

I've just got a little pot in the dash board to control the speed and a selector switch when i want the fan to run flat out. Works well although you have ...
