StuDaBear Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just collected the car from the paint shop today, had the whole front end repainted, modified bumper is on so should help reduce under bonnet temps.The new oil pressure switch is in and performing well so thats that issue sorted, I did have a bit of trouble with the cooling fans today after a lot of head scratching as the fault was acting so randomly I found a bad earth connection.Taking the car to a show on Sunday so was trying to get it minted up and my bloody pressure washer hose snagged on a tyre and I stupidly pulled it a bit, only went and burst while the car was half covered in snow foam. (many angry words followed)Wheels are next on the list, then the leather on the seats to be repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuDaBear Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 That's the mount gone that the engine used to attach to. Couple of bits gone from the nearside chassis leg, fuel filter is going to need relocating elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuDaBear Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Been on with the hydraulic clutch conversion last week, I was on holiday from work and should have got more done but couldn't be bothered. I've done the clutch pedal mods now too, just need to reassemble the pedal box, then get on with the gear stick conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
