Had Chassis Inspection today
Now have a chassis number. the trip down to portsmouth from southampton, for its maiden voyage it has done 55.5 miles. ran well, except for when you
put your foot down it coughs and splutters, something to do with the dizzy, it blows oil out of the top breather, i think the oil dipstick is the
wrong one for the car, too much oil. and it needs an expansion tank for the cooling system. oh yes must go up to halfords and twat the bloke that
recommended the heat resistant paint to me that blistered and smoked most of the way, it is now a fine covering on the m27. none left on the exhaust
at all. .
Cruised down the motorway at between 65 and 70, with a friend following me in his everyday car to measure the speed, speedo is correct.
The petrol tank only takes £20 to fill up 
And last but not least, even with steel wheels with 155/13 on, it still better than any standard manufactured car.
Woo Hoo......MOT booked For Thursday Morning
SVA form now winging its way to Vosa, planned for SVA in 2 weeks time, have booked the week off work so any day will do.
Expansion tank fitted, exhaust repainted and clamps tightened (didnt see the idiot at halfords that recommended me the high gloss heat resistant paint
other wise i would have been banned from there). Timing adjusted and distributor thoroughly cleaned, seems ok now, but will find out thursday on the
way to the MOT.
