big update as my memory stick adaptor broke so i  had to order a new one, stupid cheap thing anyway i went to minispares to order a box full of hub and brake parts,and many other bits 

 

also mocked up my wheel the car will be slightly higher than this but it gives a good idea of the look also mocked up a stubby mud flap

what a experience yesterday at work i was asked by my boss if i fancied going to the croxley green show in an original mk1 ford gt40, it was unbalivably good and the acceleration was like nothing ive ever experienced, and the sound of that v8 with 4 webbers sticking out right behined your head its undascrabable the experience of that car and the crowd it brought thanks very much to classic autos for yet again another great experience and a big thanks to aubury for making sure i went !!!!!!! what a time, saw a few nice minis there i shall try to get the pictures off of my phone later but wow what a car


more to come tomorrow

went to mitp on suday and that was great exept for the crash which left me feeling abit sick as i hoped that somthing like that would never happen to me, watching that lovley car hit the barier, and its not like a normal car either because the owner has put alot of time and effort into that car and it means alot more to him, glad to hear that the driver is okay and that he can fix it, i didnt really get much as it lacked a little on the autojumble front however me and my dad picked up a manifold each for £15 which i got to work making the exit smoother as soon as i got home and i also brought a towing eye cause i love the look of those things and it might come in handy one day:shifty: hopefully not though
