I have the following to do:

1. Replace water injection filter, fit additional 0.6mm jet.
2. Replace front discs (if they turn up in time, but not looking promising).
3. Modify down-pipe and fit quick release coupling on back of turbo (as it keeps losing exhaust studs).
4. Cooling will have to remain as is at the moment, as to cure that requires too much time and the front end being pulled apart and the radiator ducted and sealed.
5. Tyres are done (245/35 x 18s ) .
6. Seat is done.

Im just waiting on the turbo to come back next Tuesday, get some miles on wed night going the Cheshire meet to see if the new brakes need bleeding etc, then hopefully off to Karl or the kind offer off Dan@Jamsport for a quick check over.

Doing a silly fooking top speed run testing Broms work on the way back from Sticky Pauls on Monday night and the piece of shit headgasket blew

No time to do teh work on it due to excessive workload so i deemed it game over, but My ring trip passenger (Nick) worked last night & Paul's (Graceland) been here all day and ripped her to bits between em (along with all aircon scrapped...)



She is ready for re-assembly but Business post has sent the gasket and bolts to fooking Leicester..!!..!! However after a bollocking from me.. they are sending a motorcycle courier with it right now and it should be here for 9pm tonight....



Cinderella will go to the ball even if we have to tow the bitch there
