Hi all I wasn’t joking when I said it’s been a while just thought I would throw a few pics up of the car she is going for set up this Friday then just a few bits left to do it’s been a long road with work and family but she is nearly there! Probably not to everyone’s taste as it’s not standard but she is mine!




Wasn’t lying in the title! Thought I would throw a few pics of the old girl up as she is going for set up this Friday then a few bits left to do when she gets back, it’s been a long road with work and family commitments but we are nearly over the line, I know she won’t be to everyone’s taste as it isn’t standard but she is mine and that’s what I like!

thank you for your comment, fingers crossed it’s all good last time it went the head gasket was leaking so was aborted and then had to source and get a new head redone as the old one was knackered but second times a charm! Here’s some of the underside aswell should be like a new car when finished!

cheers bro, unfortunately the set up didn’t go to plan it’s dumped all its engine oil over James floor and wouldn’t go in gear so had to go pick it up, I guess it’s back to the drawing board! I will get there eventually 🤣🙏🏽

That´s bad luck mate... don´t let it put you down.

Take your time with it. It´s part of this old car ownership.
Keep up.
