I think the next thing is going to be engine out to fit a new clutch


Looks very neat, perhaps a nice stainless/carbon trim around the handbrake would look good? Top marks for getting it done in this weather.

So this afternoons mission was to change the clutch which is engine out to do it. Started at about 2 and have just sat down having given up for the night. It’s all done except for refilling with water :D

So since the last update I have trimmed the rear light pods down so the lights are sitting at a better angle and refitted them.
I found that the thermostat housing had cracked and started leaking so I have fitted a retro ford water rail and reworked the pipe work and changed the fan switch wiring on the car.
I have also got the roll bar back from being rechromed and fitted it and refitted the boot box etc.
