Over the last few months of last summer the car ran well and was quite enjoyable to drive..
Few pics of the car
Then came it's MOT in October which on its own was no real issue at all.. the journey home and the fact 3rd gear didn't want to play ball anymore meant that I now had a rather large repair on the car. It drove home no problem as long as 3rd gear wasn't used.. it basically just rattles like crazy when engaged.
So the car went back in the garage and the hunt for a new gearbox that would cope with the power began... and luckily for me found a straight cut Bara Motorsport box that had recently had a rebuild.. a trip over to Essex and the box was on its way home to the garage.
Whilst busy with other things a fair few months passed and the car slowly became 'buried' in the garage.. but a few weeks ago now I decided that it was time to get on with it as the good weather was here again.. so I got the car uncovered and up on axle stands..
.. yes those are door cards in the engine bay!!
So with that ready it was time to get the old box out..
That's where I am up to as of tonight... plenty more to come as I'm going to change over to hydraulic clutch while I'm at it.. also going to look into the shot bushes on the rear beam during this stint.
Thanks for looking.
