    Ive not updated this for ages but i have an update now so here it is:

    The car has been in a garage which was quite far away from my house and so i havent really had chance to use it much but ive managed to sort a garage close to where im living now so i moved the car today but while i was moving it i stopped in at work and took the chance to do a few bits and pieces to the car.

    First of all since i built it i havent serviced it so the first thing on the list was an oil and filter change:





    Feel a bit happier now thats done, bit of peace and mind!!

    Next thing to do was fit the all important PNG membership stickers in the window, only a little thing but i like it!!







    Looking much better now all nice and upto date in the window!!

    Through endless years of being jacked up on the drive etc and not having a rubber pad on my jack the chassis had took a bit of a beating at the front near the engine bay and as a result some of the rubbery undercoat had come offso i treated the bare metal with some rusteze because we dont want any of the dreaded rust on the car and then coated it with some stonechip to protect it, again just for my piece of mind!!

    I had noticed that one of the rear wheels had quite a lot of play in it when rocked side to side on the ramp so took the wheel off and the split pin had broken and come loose from the castlenut and the nut was undoing itself so got that nipped up just in time, didnt get any pics of this though as it was only a quick job!!

    Next on the list was a very good clean as i havent washed the old girl in over a year so gave her a minting and here are the results:











    Put one of these in for good measure:







    Even gave the exhaust a bit of a polish because i was bored:



    Thats all really, bit of a boring update to be honest but its an update. It was really good to drive the car today and hopefully now its closer to home as soon as we get the good wether i should be going out for a blast in it more often! Cheers for reading
