*Small update.. as its been a while..
Ive still had too much on elsewhere lately to make good progress with the car, as with pretty much since start of the year but slowly slowly things are getting there…
Picking up from last time, Toovey got the engine running sweetly enough and everything else, tho lacking setting-up and quite a ‘different’ feeling car to drive, all was working well. For a short period.

After a day or so and since, I have issues with the r.j’d short-shift linkage. It needs some bolts replacing for longer ones and one or two non-locking nuts have been used so I need to replace those- as it quite quickly loosens up. In addition its tricky to set-up correctly so will look into next. A friend suspected the fork on the F15 not being straight, I shall investigate anyway..
So MOT and PV prep.
That is all that currently stopping me, from what I can see, getting an MOT which is up in next few days.
Ive had the tie-bar miss-hap sorted by getting it drilled out and re-tap’d. I also took a few mins to straighten the valance/slam panel as after hoisting the car up during engine conversion it’d kinked the bonnet gap slightly bigger.. anyway, practically O.E gap again now.. Then i just need to get to the bottom of a small coolant and oil leak (later seems to be from sump plug).

Once MOT’d ill be running the car as it is to PV, with that being so soon.
After PV im hoping to get the Piper exhaust manifold modified and to complete the look- the cage I bought from mazz - just to have something in the back really; needs some work on it before it goes in.
More soon.
Looking good, can i post a old pic to help with your interest?
go ahead mate
lol ok.. pv 2008 pics..
i see what your getting at and have no fear - the slabs and stance will be back; ive not gone into the issues with the piper manifold- thats why the steelies and higher ride height for now.. hey the ride is much better at the mo anyway lol
Billing, wasn't saying anything about what you've just. Just nice pics always help me crack on that's all.
Eh up Dave
Glad it seems to be running okay.
Was going to give you a call last Saturday as i was in Stafford in my Nova as went for a drive to mates house, but ran out of time as had to get back for a bbq and beer drinking! Maybe next time.
Are the steelies stopping on or they just spare wheels?
Cheers
benn - your quite right i missed pv that year lol.. yeah thanks for the pep hope to mirror that at this years billing then..
mart - it would have been a chance to give ur synch. tool back ive been hording lol, tbh i got back from holiday saturday @ 4pm so i wasnt here most of the day..
Wheels are stopping on until piper manifold is sorted, hopefully after pv, for billing..
Not in any rush.Quote:
