See the news section
Unfortunately even if we had the car tagged and I had my licence sorted we still wouldn't be there as the car is not ready yet and wont be for a little while yet..So where are we at the moment then? sort of caught in no-mans land, The truck is in Swindon having an MOT done got Locked out of it as well LOL. Lorni and I picked the truck up on Thursday and got it ruining it still had the car in the back...
As you can see it is still in bits, we have the new gearbox in the back of the truck ready for fitting, the engine is on it's way from the States and should be in the country on the 17th March, before that the chassis is going to be cleaned up a bit as the brake master cylinder had been leaking and that has taken some of the paint off the chassis rails. there are other little jobs to do like refit the tanks once it has been dipped and the injector stacks are having the same treatment, new callipers and master cylinder are going to be fitted and a new screen fitted. Headers are going to be cleaned and polished. We still have to find a dip stick for the gearbox and a UJ that fits.And we have to fi the new injector nozzles and pils.
we are going to take our time to get all this sorted properly as it al costs a lot of money and I wont be able to do this again so got to be done right no rushing!
Two other small parts have been ordered one being an air / fuel sensor and monitor so we can keep an eye on what's going on..
And the other things we have had to source is a bronze gear drive for the dizzy because of the make-up of the new cam...
So still a lot to do but by the middle of of April I hope it will be altogether and ready to run in time for the Nostalgia nationals at Shaky.
We will of course be attending a couple of RWYB.s first to do some testing..phew! who said this was just a hobby eh?
