well chaps i went out for a few small drives today testing out the car and doing some last miniute checks and well im grinning ear to ear again

i see 1 mustang {new one} a another yellow american car old style didnt catch the make/model but the guy did give me a wave :thumbup:

the brakes at the rear had a few issues but sorted that now suspension feels cool it has its power back and the general feel of the car is alot better

im happy as a pig in sh*t still loads to go but its drivable for the summer the other bits i can do as and when

looking forward to getting to meet some of you guys at some meets :thumbup:
