removed the rally car from the garage and covered her up. Made space for the new chassis build.
Had a sleep.

I've done......................NOTHING!!!!! I got roped into a day out in Holmfirth, where there was some kind of folk festival (Just for the record we didn't know it was on), what is it with Morris Dancers.....it's just weird, and they had the"black" morris dancers who dress all in black and black their faces up.

Anyway, might get an hour in later, gonna mesh my grill in the bonnet and fit the bonnet catches.

Stripped the rust off four trailing arms and painted them.

Sounds simple and quick.

Took all day.

almost turning the car into burnt toast .

changed the indicators and the lights flashed to fast, so bought a new relay that almost caught fire before i found some correct size/wattage bulbs in one of my draws..

so fustrated and happy that i can get the car MOT'd and than taxed (2.5 years after SVA as i cannot wast a further 6 weeks arguing with the DVLA).

Trying to get my Carbonmods scoop to fit the bonnet shape and think of a way to fit it to the original holes from the previous scoop! Sounds easy but had me scratching my head for ages...

Stuck in Hong Kong waiting for my next flight, just done 12 from Heathrow now got another 9 1/2 to go I know it pays the bills, but work can be a real PITA!

Won't be able to get near the car now for another 2 weeks





It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Im here wishing i could be doing work in the garage or something else but i am stuck revising for professional exams which isnt going too well as i am already on here

Even worse that the cars in pieces, one of the light weight hubs are off to the manufacturers as i believe its a little bent/runs untrue which is causing some wheel wobble. Found my issue with the groaning noise and could potentially be the front diff bearing as everythings good and tight
