Having very serious thoughts about selling! Cant decide if i should keep for the rest of my days, or buy another project or something mental (supercharged arial atom). IF it wasnt my first car i think it would have been an easy decision!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-KART-C...item337178e37c

this is the clamp i used but to be honest i am going to get a cable custom made, when i put my centre consol in I had to pull my handbrake up as far as i could to get it in and the cable clamp came off. Still work perfectly once i put it back on but want peace of mind.

Fast Ford mate, Ades been doing the pics for it all through the build so I wanted him to do the feature. My little girls doing perfect, my 3 yr old is causing havoc! think he is a wee bit pu tout that someone else has got the attention.

Thanks guys for the comments, seeing the pictures last night that Ade did made it all worth while...

Cant thank Ade enough. Top bloke and i swear he could make a turd look good with that camera!
