    Default Up to the Date!

    Well as im sure some of you know ive been mega busy with work, fixing peoples cars, bikes and some mobile plant

    Ive also torn the c20let apart for a full rebuild for the new track project.

    Anyways, back to lucy, shes still here, looking alright now, however its clear that shes been a rushed job in the past, im not happy with the paint in the engine bay, and a tiny 5mm bubble has appeared on the rear arch.

    However, ill cover that in the next rebuild, as for now its fine

    Right then, I have done a bit this month, with all my bolts going off for acid dipping and bright zinc coating.



    Then I recieved a brand new Facet Red Top pump for the carbs.



    I have taken a couple of pics I like also, showing the red hoses and exhaust heat sheild

    It's kind of I'm in this deep, just buy whatever she needs!

    No point skimping on some hoses to ruin the look of the whole bay

    Very true matt have to agree they really set it off I'm in prity deep myself but I think I'll hold out till the car is road worthy before splashing out with it on hoses maybe throttle body's then

    Graeme is bringing 2 novas worth of bolts, and engine bolts down and we will get them acid dipped, washed, dried, coated and cooled in around 72 hours:D
