Big photo whoring I’m afraid.
Gave it a bath and a go over with some wax. It really is a brilliantly straight car, tonnes of effort has gone in to it so far, and more to come. It’s all coming together how I’d planned, sadly photos don’t seem to do it justice.
Very grubby morning replacing the rear calipers, pads, discs (w/bearings) and rear hoses.
Hoses were a nightmare. One still won’t come off so will probably order new pipes as well 😅😂
The old bearings had zero movement in them, but Christ the difference! And the handbrake works a charm now as well.
To be honest, the very thought of having to sell stuff to the public would be enough to put me off.
I’d rather set fire to it than have to deal with that many people to make a few quid.
I am pretty used to making horrendous financial decisions having spent my life racing on four wheels and two

Only managed to get the powerflex mount insert in today before the heavens opened.
Once it dried out I ran out of motivation.
But, I have just got back from a test run and basically what everyone else says, it’s definitely an improvement for the application in which I am using it for. Slightly...
Thanks mate. Much appreciated.
Got a lot of inspiration from your old one which imo is the best I’ve seen.
Still got bits to go, she’s definitely a keeper !
Yeah public sector pay is shite! It’s also generally a safe haven for people who are beyond useless at their jobs.
Not as bad if you’re a contractor though.
Standard nhs, put up so much tape nobody can do anything. Circumnavigate the tape you put in by getting consultants in to get s**t done...
