Ordering the rest of the bits

[GreatOldOne]

They have a race meeting that weekend.

Picked up my bits this morning.

Didn't think the rear tub was going to go in at first, but after several false starts and a lot of jiggling, we managed to get it in the Laguna, along with all the other fibreglass bits, exhaust system, windscreen, side panels and other sundry bits and bobs.

I didn't get my wing stays, as apparently Mark has redesigned them (he didn't elaborate as to how, but he did mention he had thrown all the old ones away), and they'll be sent up later, along with my bumpers.

I also didn't get the silencers, as it looks as if the exhaust fabricators forgot to deliver them with the pipes - so Mark is going to get them sent to me direct from the builder.

I'll have to crack on now. No excuse!

You'll have hours of fun in the garage now!

Keep us all posted on the wing stays as you know a number of us have had issues with them comming loose or breaking.
Did Mark offer any opinion on the Sportster passing the new IVA test? The latest Complete Kit Car magazine has an interesting write up on an IVA test run, highlighting some interesting challenges.

cheers

Re wing stays - will do. I know some of you have had some problems with them, that's why I mentioned it.

As for IVA, No - Mark didn't, I didn't think to bring it up TBH. I was more worried about getting it all in the car, so I didn't have a wasted journey!

Anyway, it's the 'issues' involved in building that make it so much fun!
