bit of bling fitted and new crash bar

spot lights have just arrived as always could not wait to fit them bit of a brucy bonus they worked first time. must have dune something right when I made up the wiring. also fitted a new crash bar,I don't like not having anything to protect the rad and me come to that.

few more bits sorted

problem with waiting for the dvla to get the paper work sorted is I am already changing things on the car and its never been off the bloody drive. lol
so this weekend made a boot stay to hold it up its hit me on the head to many times, fitted fog and reverse light flush mounted
eBay item number:23161552530 so they dont look to stand out.
fitted door rubbers eBay item number:121432862268 good stuff for a change also cut out all the vents and fitted this stuff eBay item number:251831841139 good stiff mesh not the fly screen stuff. gone a bit old school and added the AA badge on the grill and I must admit I nicked the road runner badge idea from Garry aka NED but I could not resist it.

You've added some nice detail there, which will make such as difference to the finished car. I particularly like the sunken reversing and fog lamps.

finally got a V5 so we are good to go

well today I got the go from the DVLA the car is now fully road legal as a kit car. I could not call it a Italia 250 swb because that was the next speck up from my car so its a BMW tribute 250. I have waited that long and filled out that many bits of paper.I would have called it a bloody vesper if they were happy to register it.
test drive was sort of ok until I worked out one of the wire wheels is slightly buckled above 30 its ok under its got a clunk so back on ebay we go

just (maybe) a small point - the 'tripods' on the headlights look to be in different positions........ are the beams set correctly, or do they need rotating some?

Andy, don't clergymen wear vesper?

My first road going mobile was a vespa pk50 at the the age of 16! My dad was a mod so thats what i got. Now im older and ive moved on to the lambretta's (i think for more style however they are a lot more un-reliable)



Mines the stage 5 tuned racer on the right lambretta gp225. The other 2 classics are my dads. 1 vespa special and 1 mk1 li lambretta

Is that a frame breather in the middle

I used to have street racer bitza...drop bars ,rearsets ,190 tuned engine big dellorto,Kegra race pipe etc etc

Wot, only 3 between you?

Anyone remember the Wal Phillips "fuel injectors" ?

liking the roadrunner badge!!

have to admit I did nick the road runner idea from NeD off the forum, sorted my clunky wheel today the spinner hub was just off centre by a few mill. took the car for a good blast the 2.2 engine can really fly when you put your foot down. only new addition fitted a reverse camera with a drop down screen off the inner roof works a treat.

Hi Andy

Hope you are enjoying the car now all roadworthy and registered, I spoke with Sharon at dvla looks like you have paved the way for others. Let's see.

For the mini door handles how did you get the mechanisms to fully work? Open on push when BMW handle is pull. Cheers

have a look at the start of the build thread its just a nut and bolt then a bent wire that goes around the bolt and hooks through the door handle.
the ones I used are afla 156. andy

Bump (seeing as you're hoping to sell).
