Didnt get as much done today as i would of liked to as the weather was crap all day

my Ł16 gazebo did its job



then this fella turned up to lend a hand getting the box in



box, prop, and ap6 paddle clutch all fitted up

also fitted a new clutch and speedo cable




got all the brakes on at last



jobs for tomorrow are

remove and refit the seats
fit the new fuel lines
bleed the brakes
remove and refit the front shocks

think thats about it

then just got to get my mate to sort the paint and then its all done

It's looking top-draw mate well done!!!

My old one felt a bit sketchy at the back end... Karl said most likely to be the old spongy beam mounts. The whole back end only has 3 mounting points to the car doesn't it?... i'd wanna make sure they're all as good as they can be. I take it you've tightened everything up properly?!

Yeah everythings tight bit of yellow paint on the heads of the bolts as i went round tightening everything up(as per pic), set up the tracking today felt a bit better on the drive home still not right tho

but the rear beam bushes are a bit worn so will look out for a set of polly ones or poss solid mounts but they might be a bit harsh for the road
