With stopper.

Closer look, needs sanding back.

Sorted.

The other side.

Hi Tony, Do you think you could message / phone me; ref your dateless number plate. i have found some on ebay. Wonder if it's same guy you got yours from ? I am a little concerned about sending original logbook to a stranger on ebay, particularly a "one man band" with lowish feedback.
We met at the Tribute open day earlier this year (I bought Hammy's car).
Your car is Loooooooooking good.

Cheers, Chris

Hi my plate was from John Duncan, the transaction was as smooth as a babys bottom, his number is 0771 5871628, I bought the chepest he had at the time (about a year ago), someone said there are irish plates for a tenner, not sure if this is the same guy but I had no problems. He was from Co. Antrim and I would recomend him. Hope your kit is going well, thanks for the kind words! (rememember meeting you as you had a hat, I got sun burn)

Just checked and he is still on ebay at £20 for UU4xxx plates. Seems to be the cheapest on there.

Went to my local scrap yard today and got some shorter gas struts for the boot, Saab 9000 bonet ones work a treat, also saw a rather sad tired Jag so I bagged the side repeaters as my MOT is looming and I'm not sure if it will pass without as its a 93 car.

More filling and sanding done today, thought I'd post a picture of the boot with the gas struts, old mazda hinges cut reversed and refitted as mounts.

I will not use the F word but my kit did not pass its MOT today, side repeaters now fitted free re test on Monday. (had the lights just in case, taken from a scrap Jag).

Is that all it failed on?

No coupleof lamps out due to wiring issue now sorted, and head light adjustment that I will do at the retest on their machine, not bad though.

Only minor points

Hi,
may i ask where you got your back boxes from. I'm looking for a company that do custom builds. Or if theirs a kit that can be put together to get the right fit. Trying to divert the pipe to the left and then straight out at the back

I recomend Longlife as I have used them time and time again, they have branches around the uk, Hastings was nearest for me.

Re test now passed.
[url]www.longlife.co.uk[/url] Havair in St Leonards (Hastings) did mine.

Congratulations Tony.

Glad to see you are fully road legal before another winter sets in.

Are you going to drive it around for a bit, or start prepping for paint?

Good luck, Paul.

Hi Paul, I only use it occasionaly as I have other cars, but it has been on the road and legal since the BBQ in June, a small amount of prep is required before painting and the rear arches need to be glassed in, my next free day when its dry hopefully.

Part finished MX250c on Ebay for anyone interested.

I came across that the other day, I wonder who offered him £10k for his finished, I'd sell mine for that and just build another 1!...

some one got a bargain with that motor at £2600

Saw this today it lives in my town it was being photographed for a fearure in Compleat Kit Car magazine, the original company made cars in Wales, this was a prototype. Thought it would be of interest, anyone care to name it?

Well..... It looks to be a Gilbern (I cheated and enlarged your photo! - sorry I couldn't resist it). But all other Gilberns I've seen were older 50's 60's style and nothing like this. Hmm.... Rebadged maybe, bit of a mystery?

Ha! You cheated but it is a Gilburn T 11 concept car, it never went into production, but this one, and I think its the only one has been restored, Ford GT40 era and its stands about the same hight, it would be great to have a kit of this!
