The Excel definitely went through the level crossing on red lights given the timing of the barriers coming down! That was Terrible!

Music: - not too bad-a-song lyric-wise - but could do with a remix -the balance of backing guitar(s) to vocal was TERRIBLE! :lol: I did like the guitar solo though.

Good video ..you could feel the speed on the slip roads and flatness and fluidity on the roundabouts. A very successful conversion in that respect! 8)

Looks like they fitted a master Cylinder and presumably filled the brake lines before the body went back on. Interesting.
I wish my progress was that swift :D

Awful lot of standing around by those LB workers, especially that Dave geezer. He was sat down half the time too!

You're very welcome to see it. Still a year or so away from being on the road though. I'll PM you some details and we can arrange something.
