I hate rushing right before the event.

I hate that too, hence why I haven't set myself any deadlines this time around

Can't wait to have a look at your car at PV Ben

The stainless bolts aren't doing you any favours on the sump because you'll never get them nipped up as tight as HT without shearing. The most likely issue is not having the bolts short enough, so it seems like they're tight when in fact they're just bottoming out.

Hhhmm didnt think of strenght over steel over stainless... Lenght wise they are correct, M6x25 (iirc) they are 5mm sorted than the org ones due to the single gasket set up. This lengh down bottom out...


Bay is in primer now

[Benn]

So much f**king around.
Car was meant to be paint Friday, wasn't. Meant to be painted Sat morning.. Wasn't... Finally picked it up at 3pm Sat..
Few bits that i'm not happy with and a few things that will need doing after PV (you'll notice the seam sealant in the arch that is finished/painted yet, but will be.

But... With in an hour this happened...



In front the top. The only way... Didn't touch any of mark anything. When while fitting the braided fuel like the jublieeclip scratched the bulk head like a *******.

Mrs and me fitted the brake lines and bleed the brakes yesterday before a pub lunch (very rare thing for me) tonight i'm gonna fit the turbo and pipes, with that on i can fit the exhaust, then i did mostly bang the front up together.
