A cement lorry had crashed through the barrier and tipped over, the motorway was still closed last night I didn't get home till just after 3am I left Swindon at 9:30pm.
Anyway got to Swindon took the truck and car round to Mr. O'Sullivan's workshops where we unloaded her...
A little bit of work required to change the distributor and modify a set of leads to fit on the MSD cap as it is different to the Mallory one. Then we filled up her fluids connected the battery , we turned her over got the oil pressure up primed the fuel and hit the ignition and she tried to fire up straight away...timing was way out..so some fettling and we tried again..same result, this happened three times, if you go to our You-Tube channel Slimline Racing you can find some video clips of this and of course......this one.........
She's alive at last, all the hard work was worth it I know on the video the car sounds really rough but it didn't sound that bad in reality, yeah the timing was right out and the leads didn't fit properly but she ran so now the rest takes place at the track, can't wait to get in it and drive it now, I would like to say thanks to everyone that has got us this far, especially my son Steve, his wife Kerry for putting up with not seeing him from one week till the next all the guys at the track, John O'Sullivan and Sam Feeeman for lending us a distributor, See you at a track very soon...be afraid be very afraid LOL !!
