Well done, capital effort ! Now, before you drive it on today's somewhat filthy dirty roads, some photos please for the 2018 Club126 Calendar !

How long has that taken you from when you first acquired it (which from my recollection was about two weeks ago !!) ?

well the MCA is all registered, mot'd, tax'd and insured (reasonably too)

been driving it locally today just to get a feel of it and do some shaking down to find fault heres my list so far

1. brakes sticking slightly: fixed now after another bleeding

2. the new thermostat refuses to open, was driving it around for about half a hour and the flap never moved, so the engine was getting a bit too warm

even though the sun came out i wish it was a bit warmer!

Hi amam
Would it be possible to take some photos of your MCA badge for me please?
I'm going to try and get some made up for mine so will hopefully be able to do a spare one for you too.
My email is [email protected] if you can
Cheers
Rob

took forever the make them

which in your case means about 20 minutes, I imagine, judging by what you've already achieved with this wondeful looking little gem !
