Well, an oil leak at bedford last weekend made my mind up for me, as obviously no good having a trackday car that is dripping oil and hence not allowed on track!

So we yanked the engine and box out this weekend ready for a quick freshen up with new rings and bearings and new gasket etc and the mrs has cleaned up the bay a bit and I blasted the worst of the scratches with a rattle can.

Only got a few hours a week that I can be over at the workshop for a while due to loads of work commitments but the plan is to take engine apart next weekend, rebuild it weekend after, fit it weekend after, get running weekend after, map and run in weekend after, trackday at Combe weekend after.

Not sure that's all going to go to plan, but at least there is a plan, lol


Engine bay looks ok at a glance now at least, although this will never be a concours car obviously as it only exists to be abused on track.
