The Mrs has an idea that it'll be a good time to decorate the nursey as when it's back nothing's gonna get done....better get painting then.



Excellent, Dick will have it back in good time for the Dolomites ;)

A few weeks ago Dick from Snodhurst picked the car up in order to do the wiring in of the ECU etc and organise taking it to powerspeed (fast road conversions) for the exhaust to be made & fitted. So me and the little one went to the Alps for a bit of skiing, weather was superb and snow was great!

It was Adams frist time skiing and by the end of the week he went down la Masse at nearly 3000m high on a red run so very chuffed with himself!

The car was delivered to me yesterday, really pleased with the exhaust-

The wiring in the engine bay is really neat and I am very impressed with how tidy it makes everything look, the chaps at Snodhurst also fitted a cut off switch, rectified the timing as it was out and fitted a spigot bearing. Brilliant job.

Now it's back I am working on getting the bulkhead panels fitted with the swirl pot/pump/filter, ordered the last few cooling bits and will be fitting the new bonnet over the weekend
