Progress today after 2 weeks of not being able to work on the car I went over to Marks & stripped down the Block & fully cleaned it. The mods to the dry sump were finalised so those 2 parts can be modded. The sump to be welded to fit this application & the Block for more oil supply mods above those that Mark does at big Power.
Today I also met Nick who owns the 180mph Capri & asked if he would drive my car if I was not allowed to drive (will explain) he said it will be a
privilege Rod .
Around Christmas time I started to notice a problem with my right eye, I don't wear glasses so was very surprised it got a lot worse over the next month or so went for an eye test. Ended up seeing a Specialist & it was confirmed 2 weeks ago that I have Macular degeneration. It cant be cured & I know what will happen in a few years as my Mum had the same & it started at my age . I have to wear Dark Glasses for driving as its caused by Sun damage. They say commuting for 30 years driving into the Sun may have caused it not helped by a Viscous detachment of the Retina a few years back. Im fine at the mo as my left eye is just fine.
