..... before Time Attack Donington !!

or:

3 weekends
6 non working days (for some)




Much to do ??

Broken the back of all the compulsory work on mine just a few straggly bits such as a front tow hook and ordering some 888's. Apart from that the remainder of the list is nice to haves.

Much to do :roll:

I am about at this stage.......



Hoping to have the car in for paint by Wednesday, then let the rebuild continue. It shouldn't be that hard but you always those unexpected problems that can set you back a day, which at this stage I do not need.

I will be having some very long days from now till Donny!

I suddenly feel quite relaxed

I dont envy you the work load over the next few weeks George.

You never do 5 days a week Dunk, come on :lol:

Good planning to be that organised this far in advance. George definitely isn't on his own. I know of quite a few cars that are in similar states at the moment, all of which are doing TA or EDC.

A busy few weeks for those guys. that's for sure.

I have 'sort of had' a a bad run tbh, either waiting for parts or people and then just getting the time to make a start and when I do start I seem to get interupted all the bloody time. Yesterday I managed to get about 4 hours work into a full day.

The car will be going into paint as a bare shell, ne subframe or anything.
So i have all to do.


Good luck to everyone still building may time be with you !!

Looks like george has a fair bit more than me to do.

I've got a day in the garage next thursday before triple club track day to...

fit clutch and flywheel
change tyres
change eng oil/filter
g/box oil
diff oil
upgrade rear brakes to 2 pots+ full bleed with srf
secure fuel lines
drill and fit passenger seat
fit cage padding

general tidy
refit centre console.

check geo?

shit george i thought you were joking.
ye i though you were serious re had a load of work to do but didnt realise you had stripped to that level.

good luck mate you need it :-D

well my headgasket decided to shit itself so my engines got to come out.

Having it put back in with a steel gasket and a tomei oil pump and trust sump baffle so hopefully it will make the stadnard motor last that bit longer.

False economy really but i have no choice pissed off isnt the word...

then need tyres and a racesuit and im there.

Jesus, what a kick in the nuts. At least the oil pump and baffles will go in your favour.
How did you find out about your HG Neil?

drove it to the gargae to have my suspension work done.....wondered why the temp kept going up :P

and up.......

and up......

nursed it there, presurised the coolant system, fired ti up, collant in the cylinders. Bugger.
