6 months behind the initial schedule, and it has been frustrating over the past few weeks, but I finally got my tags. When for a short celebratory spin afterwards, but the thermometer was in the twenties last night, and the heating is still not hooked up.
The engine is still in break-in and I've still got quite a list of little things to fix.
Still, this is a big step.

Too bad it has to go to storage pretty soon.

Just details from here on. Hopefully you can still find a warm day for a real spin.

then reassembled the whole car and here it is, tonight. There is still some work to be done on it, most notably, breaking the engine in and a dyno session, but that will be in the spring:

Bloody fantastic Michel! Six months behind schedule is better than most could accomplish with a project of this size. Only frustrating part is the thought that you have to put it to bed for the winter. It will be teasing you mercilessly!

Awesome !!!

Belle job Michel.

Hope you take it for a spin to Cantley next spring.
Only 2 hr drive
OK... 1.5 with the sixer.
I`ll put efforts on mine to have it ready for spring so we can gather and go for a drive

Keep her in a warm and dry place for the upcoming months.
