1) Park car in front of front door
2) Put paint in exhaust
3) Open front door
4) Start engine

Two birds, one stone

Right …..

Having done no work on the car over Christmas I have just taxed it and renewed my insurance so its now legal to drive on the road.

Time to put the final bits back on and start to work on the engine map.

Only hurdle now to being at the first show in May is an MOT due in two weeks.

Need to sort out the emissions and possibly back brakes binding as they have not been used for a year.

Well the deed is done…Finally booked the car in for its MOT this Friday.


Only concern is the handbrake, and not convinced the rear brakes are working as well as they used to.


EFI conversion has gone well, just needs one or two items tidying up.

Once its MOTed I can have a go at improving the engine map and set up.

See you all at Newark
