One year on

 Been on the road a year now how quick that has gone .and managed to cover over 2000 miles.

My family have bought me a personalized number plate

 so after a year of being a 73 plate I  am now a 62 plate

What have I learnt, well the project is never over.

On the dales run out with the Northern  Cobra club  the weather turned so put the roof up which is a 20 minute job and the side screens .

All in all not a bad fit and only a bit of water came in so happy but 

The wipers have stopped working which is interesting in the rain !! 

and the side screens scratch the top of the doors in use due to them vibrating .

Two jobs for the winter then more to follow  

Bits and bobs (and dash cam)

 Whilst running out in my first year 2 things started to bother me 

1 No were to place my phone so navigating is a chore

2  My other cars have a dash cam but not this one 

first problem was an easy fix ebay to the rescue 

attaches with a sucker and stays put 

Second not so easy 

Didnt want to attach to the windscreen as didn't want the wires draping all over .Needed to come up with some way of attaching it to the body near the roll bars.

First task was power already  routed a spare pair of cables to the back of the seat when i built the car for a just in case .

So tied these in to the aux power switch and fitted a socket behind the drivers seat sorted .

socket fitted 

The second was not so easy there was  nothing i could find on the internet that suited my purpose so came up with something in stainless steel but all my attempts ended in the bin .

To the recue came Dave my work colleague and best mate since we were 16 ( so a few years !!) 

whilst talking of my dilemma he calmly announces that he thinks he can rustle up something on his new 3d printer, 

With a hint of skepticism we moved forward ,Well the results are nothing short of amazing.

So impressed with this it is nothing short of fantastic  and works a treat!
