I'm hoping to have the car ready for Aug , run in by that time

the car is at another garage having the geabox re moved fitting new clutch/bearing ,we are taking the diff off and sending to it Dome to be checked over . just to make sure everything is ok

The brackets and bells are getting anodized dark blue , then we are putting boots on the all the rose joints .

Checking all the nuts/bolts and lock wire some bolts that hold the diff in place

hopefully thats should be it for a yr or so

cheers Marco
