All the best with the move fella, be good to see the car getting to completion.
thank you, may be one step closer after potentially finding a room up there, with regards to the car i am unsure how long it will be, £££ is the main problem as ever...
I demand more details on 'the move'
call me then...lol
UPDATE: So another weekend where i have not been down to work on the car, although there is not loads for me to do i feel i should still be going down, this is only enforced by the fact that my weekends (or any time infact) will soon be massively limited because of work / the move.
Instead i spent yesterday down at Wiscombe, Devon at there hillclimb event, extremely good day even though it was wet, some very impressive driving, impressive machinery and some just crazy things....
and today i spent more time out in the garage working on the engine, the clean-up / overhaul is coming along well and as you can see my fully cleaned parts bin is stacking up,
everything from the fuel rail, to samco hoses, brake lines, spark plugs, most fluid bottles etc etc etc are in there all fully cleaned and ready to go once the car is done, you can also see the first piece of the last ever yozzasport exhaust stuck in behind it.... nom nom nom,
and my custom radiator and the bottom piece to my custom airbox (these both still need a bit of a clean)
I have another pile for the pieces i have removed that will be getting painted up separately, gearbox mounts, engine mounts etc etc. I am not totally sure on my colour scheme yet but they all need painting anyways.
Which leaves the block and gearbox, i removed the exhaust manifold today which will get a bit of a clean up but then its just the block and box to clean, again i will be treating the block to a good fresh coat of paint and again i am unsure on the colour scheme,
however can anybody tell me how much more i can take the block down without having to re-time stuff etc etc?
so not a totally wasted day really, more little jobs will have to be found like this over the next few months to slowly keep this project moving in the right direction.
After some worries i gave my painter sprayer mate a call today also so we could possibly work out some kind of action plan, i think we are going to head to the pub this week to go over it,
i think he is keen to get it moving and with me moving away i think he understands the sooner he can sort stuff his end the better. However i also have concerns with regards to painting it now too. I really want to paint the car however i am worried about the costs, what with going to canada and now having to look into moving houses / jobs again i think everything could add up.... we will see what happens
all comments welcome, especially any on stripping the block more
