Quick update...passed the MOT end of last month
Failed the first one on excessive exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content and on imbalanced brakes across an axle rear.
Those small fixes were sorted and it went back the next day and passed with flying colours!
Registration papers were all sent off yesterday and I was told could take up to about 10 days to all go through...exciting times now!

Hi all,
Been a long while since I posted any updates on the Fury so thought it's about time...
Car is all MOT'd, registered, insured and now on the road at long last!
Booked in for my first show at the end of the month and cannot wait!
I had to replace the valve cover gaskets as one was leaking... (April 2018)

Finally the day came (28th April 2018) to pick the Fury up from my mates garage and drive her the 70 mile journey back to my Dad's house and sadly we couldn't of picked a worse day with the weather...it poured down with rain the whole journey but I was still smiling the whole way!
The car drove perfect, no overheating and everything working as it should do...was very happy and also a little scared to be doing such a big journey for it's first voyage!
Got plenty of honks and thumbs up from other road users which is what it's all about!

One proud and happy owner after the first 70 mile journey home and a cool shot of the new licence plates...

Very well done to you, it has been a long journey.
Many people would have quit and bailed on the project, but you stuck it out - top man!
