Yesterday I took my BE to it's first show. I have been working on this car for about two years. It had several mechanical problems that have taken quite awhile to straighten out. About a month ago it all came together and the car is running fine now. Thanks to many people on this forum I have learned how to cut carpet, bleed brakes, find a Harley mirror that will fit in the windsheild bolt hole, change to negative ground, recover the dash and many other ways to make my car better than new. I went to the "Brits at the Battleship" show in Wilmington, NC. There were 167 cars in the show. I was lucky enough to win 1st place in the Bugeye Sprite Mk I class. I could not have done it without all the help from all of you. I hope to have some pictures of the car soon to post.
Hooray for the BCF,
Charlie
 
Fantastic, congrats to you and your car! Must have been very gratifying!

Hi Charlie,

"Congrats" on your 1st place & "FOR SURE" please show some pics. I`ve always wanted to go to this show but Its quite a ride from Up-State, SC.

I will be working on posting some pictures today. I am computer challenged, but will give it a shot.
Thanks for all the responses!

Good on you Charlie :thumbsup: !! Glad to hear that not only is the BE up and running, but in winning form :cheers: !! Can't wait to see the pix!
 
Pictures were sidelined today due to mother-in-law's car needing work. I started picking some out and will try to get them on tomorrow. Later I will post some pictures of the unique things done to my BE.
