MOT will be next week at some point.

F*cking amazing, I forgot how rowdy it was. Can't wait to drive it.

Why do I always end up with potato phones? With the wind noise and rear boot trim rattling like an old touring car, the phone has massacred the audio, it sounds way better than this, but f*ck it, it's done and it's quick again. 😁

I wasn't looking forward to this as I knew it would be a pain in the arse. I was right, four hours later and a lot of swearing it's done. Had this Kam racing mount knocking about for years so while I'm down there... Old one was f*cked. Still need to fit the seat harness and a new...

It's in, the extra 5cm seems to be on the thread, panic over....hopefully.

The outer CV is fucked on my old one, only thing I can do is try and fit it and see how I get on, but knowing my luck I've been sold the wrong part and will spend the afternoon failing to fit it, even the shaft diameter looks different.

Went and bought a new driveshaft from a refurb place, despite typing my plate into the system I get home with it and there's a 5cm difference in length. Is that a cup driveshaft?

Anyone got a passenger driveshaft for a non cup sport? The one I got sent are the wrong size 172 F*ck knows 172 F*ck knows 172 F*ck knows Really wish I'd checked before I did this Got a track day in 3 weeks, starting to look like that'll be wasted money.

This bloke restores Fords and builds classic touring cars for a living.

Progress has been made. Interior bits sprayed black, visors done in fabric paint so it stretches. A pillars done in leftover material, looking nicer than the day I bought it, the rest of the car looks a shitheap in comparison. FInally got the seat fitted, omp base needed it's mounting...

I do like an old Rover, most are still quite cheap to buy.

I'm sure his normal stuff is fine, buy the joke songs they make up for their project builds are f*cking terrible, when I do watch their vids I end up skipping most of it because of their adverts and shite music vids.

If you can call it that.

MCM vids are just feature length infomercials these days, I get that you're trying to make a living but the cars seem secondary to the product placements and shite music vids they think are funny.
