    Got the brakes bled today, the wife came and helped with that. Was surprised how easy they bled to be honest.
    Filled up the gearbox oil too, got a little clunk sound when I release the clutch when engine is running, hoping this is nothing to worry about and just the release bearing resting back.
    Got the passenger wing on, it need a respray but I'll get that done with it on the car so can be blended into door, so was able to fit the front bumper and grill and I now have an almost complete car .

    I need an air filter now to finish the engine bay
    The just need to respray skirts and get wheels done and she's ready for a test drive

    Also gave her another quick fallout remover bath , not as much contaminants as last time so all good.

    Yeah not long at all, I'm tempted to just put some new tyres on the wheels and get them refurbed at a later date when I have the spare cash, because I have nothing spare for a bit now

    I put the wheels on yesterday after work to test it round the block, 1 of my wheel nuts won't tighten so think the thread is gone ill try a shorter bolt as I use longer ones for the spacers.
    But I took it out and drives good goes through all the gears and stupid amount of power, the torque steer us stupid so want to try correct this a but.

    Ideas in helping torque steer?

    Biggest factor will be front geometry if you've not had it set up yet.

    Equal length shaft might help a little.

    Cleaned the icv and sorted out that blocked breather bolt but still have a bit of an arratic idle when warm.
    Also I have no hot air coming through the heaters tried bleeding the system and nothing so I'm stumped.

    I levelled off the front suspension which has helped a bit with the torque steer

    I've also not got 5th gear ffs, got reverse 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th but no 5th........so I've had enough for one day
