Thank you Erik 🙂 @airbum

I am sure the next batch of springs for the Caterhams was in blue, my friend @bikequeen. Looking great!

They do look excellent in blue, Cricket @bikequeen

Caterham finished, One fender had to be redone as the paint ran badly. I put the lights and fenders on so I could show off everything with the engine bay open for view. Found out I could not put the nose on with fenders on :(. So I had to take the fender off, but had to take the wheel off to do that anyway, here is the completed car. A lot of fun to build but I just cannot get the dust off before I paint….drives me nuts. Seatbelts are a nice touch but they dont lay right and the adhesive comes apart after a few days. The steering works flawlessly but getting the steering shaft through everything was a challenge but it all worked out.

Some amazing work done, Cricket @bikequeen
Definitely ready to be presented on the headlines.

Hi Cricket, sad that I only found your build now, but what a fantastic job you have done building an icon of a car. Great work! Not sure if people know, but the colour of a spring denotes it's "spring rating". ie. the strength of the spring. Most bikes will use a yellow spring, road based cars are generally a blue, and the red more suited to track use where a stiffer suspension spring rate is required. Your blue springs look perfect!

Thank you everyone! It was a joy to build as I may have mentioned I built one of these 20 over so years ago and sold it. I wanted another. The first one I built had the Cycle fenders cant remember what engine it had

Looks fantastic, my friend @bikequeen!
