feeling so proud - we have FINALLY done the brakes and steering. almost ready for the race next weekend!
work was underway last night repairing the soapbox. new steering in. front panel done and an idea on the brakes. shame the red paint wasn't 100% dry ....came away like I'd been to a murder scene!

damage to our front panel yesterday didn't seem too bad until we flipped it over!
the lesson is never let your non-driving nephew steer on a test run two weeks before the race!
