So, after a winter of discontent, well disinterest really,
I have rebuilt the gear box, AGAIN!
A new propshaft, thanks Dick, for putting me in touch with a good company, that made it for me,
Back on the engine is the lightened flywheel, as I managed to put the wrong one (heavy) on last time
So far it seems to be all ok, and goes well, and I got it up to 6.5k in fourth going up hill, mmm, that's 70 + 35 according to the sat nav, so ..............
However, I will say, that every time I drive my "7" toy car, especially the first time of a winter layover, I am amazed how I ever managed to build such a thing, from scratch, as did a couple of others on SKCC and all from a pathetic book, "build a sports car for £250" hahahhahaha, the 250 bit is wrong, but the rest is right
Anyway, im back in the game
