Roof done...

Well maybe not LOL but a couple of duradots to hold the front on the windscreen & this will be a lot quicker than getting the top on when randomly parked up...

Update)

Just got a date for my IVA & its not until 20th April which is a bit disappointing. However  I couldn't have started the process much quicker as DVSA require a photo of the complete car before they will press the final green 'book it in' button. If I'd known that I would have put the wheels nose cone & bonnet on a bit earlier. That would have saved me a week or so... it only needs to look finished in a photo... my DVSA contact is...'Aaron Ace'... thats got to be a made up name!

But its worth people knowing... don't wait until you finish the car to start the process... Caterham (South) need 6 weeks notice to book in for a PBC (if you are getting them to do the IVA which I am) & apparently this gets longer once the sun comes out as all the existing owners decide to get their cars booked in for a post winter service...

Car is being picked up by  Caterham on the 27th March so at least they have plenty of time to rectify all my faults & sort out the 310 upgrade (looking on the positive side...).

Rectified a few issues.

Exhaust

Re did the rear mount, thanks Andrew & Jerry for pointing out! Still seems to be under more side ways tension than I would have expected. I'll get Caterham to check this out... maybe my engine isn't in straight... nervous LOL..

Air inlet.

Re drilled the airbox to give me some more rear movement & also added a couple of washers on one side to tilt it a bit. Now lines up with the hole in the bonnet much better! but still not perfect. It seems to me that the rubber hose is 1/4 inch too short & to get it onto the engine properly its pulling the airbox on its mountings. Another job for Mr Caterham.. maybe my engine isn't straight... more nervous laughter...
