No, I?m a big fan of the sprint kit and for me is what makes the car unique from all the others.

Didn?t think you would consider it!
Get another offer in on that house so you have a garage to rebuild it in!

I wish I could but it?s just too much,600k was my limit and that was a massive stretch.
Currently looking at another house down Rollestone road that?s not on the market yet, fingers crossed that one comes off.

To be fair 600k wouldn?t be too far off that place in some respects as it needs some cash spending on the interior by the looks of it!

That was my thought, needs a fair amount of work. They didnt even come back with a counter offer ,just a flat out no.

Whilst the shell was away, I set about giving the engine a refresh. Plan was to just to cambelt, water pump and seals.

Started by completing a leak test on the cylinders, this unfortunately reviewed that I had pretty bad valve let by on two cylinders. Cylinder head went away for a complete rebuild, this revealed that it had 8 cracked valve spring platforms and work exhaust valve guides.
Being a Coscast head, parts seemed to be retry hard to get hold of but got there in the end.
Bottom was treated to a coat of paint, then all new seals.

Assembled the engine and then made up some trolleys from some scrap metal I had lying around, this will make it easier to move the engine around and to slide under the car when I come to refit it.

By this point i was really starting to suffer working in a big tent, rain would run in as its sat over a low point on my drive. The water then evaporates and condensation forms absolutely everywhere.
Came up with a plan to level the ground with sand, sheet the entire floor with a waterproof membrane and then cover with plastic gridlock flooring.
It has worked a treat, also added a vent to allow some air circulation and I no longer have any condensation.

Spent hours cleaning the gearbox up ready for paint. Gave it 2 coats of etch primer and two coats of black.

Then moved on to a few other parts, all shotblasted prior to painting.
