No blog updates for ages. Is it going ok?

Hi Tim (and everyone!),

Been really hectic over the summer - my car was written off due to the floods, swmbo was sick, family duties, swmbo's birthday, replacement tintop for swmbo and I (I got a diesel passat, she got an M3), bits of touch-up work on the M3, and the blog wasn't up-to-date anyway!!

There's more to come. We've got all the suspension trial fitted (I reckon I can leave the rear bones on while fitting the body), fuel tank is done and in, MCs are plumbed in, wiring loom fitted (I wimped and got a new one from MNR. I didn't fancy cutting up a 20+ year old Sierra one!)

We got a tuned head off Ebay and this went onto the block last weekend. The lump is hopefully going into the car this weekend, and I'll bring the blog up to date as well (maybe).

Oh yeh, and was at the Castle Combe trackday the other day with wheezy and powerdenman (swmbo's dad). Ruby is now going to have an oil cooler fitted from the beginning as well...

Cheers


Vince
