Car is looking sweet Oli, not long now :)

I was going to suggest doing the inlet lettering white but your already thinking of it :)

Cheers guys. I'm trying to find someone who can paint the inlet lettering white without goofing it up. Which counts me out. :)

Stiff sponge and lightly dab it on the lettering. Thank me later.

Hallelujah for Alex tbh.

I was about to go round late at night and torch the bloody thing.

Well played mate.

There was some comedy though. I managed to lock myself out of the house just as Alex arrived. And the lock on the bonnet was stuck. Took us 45 mins of 'ninja hands' to get into the car! Lol.

Was a good evening, and a nice easy fix. Clearly we aren't very good criminals, unable to break into your house, or your car. Got there in the end though.

Glad it started up, and ran as well as it did/does. Sounds sweet.

Alex is used to dealing with things that you dont expect to happen, when ever he comes to mine he ends up having to deal with something different.

Aero catches not on the cards? Standard bonnet catches are so shite.

I fixed the bonnet catch, was easy once we had the car key TBH.

Lol. It's knocking like a b**ch when it goes over a bump. Not sure what that maybe. Seems to come from front left.

Aero catches are on the cards.

Check top mounts are tight now its been driven. The big nut in the middle (On mine its 24mm, but may be diff on yours due to billys).

Otherwise just do a nut and bolt check on everything that side.

Sorry I missed your call bud, tried to call back just now.

I have normally just done them as tight as I could without taking the piss. Don't think PMS give torque settings.

They want to be 30nm but its difficult to torque them and stop the shaft spinning, I always use thread lock on them though as they seem to like coming undone so I would suggest this too :)

Same here.

Just resist doing 500 daggers and risking damage to the seals that are meant to go up and down not round and round.

Well then, it's fair to say that it's looking fairly mean currently!

That looks incredible, Oli. Absolutely love it, you'll have to make sure you get over to the unit when I go down again in summer.

On a side note can you not fit the standard gaiter back over the PMS shifter? Would just finish it off.
