Update 58 - Catch up on the thread admin Just catching up on some thread admin - all the events below happened so quickly I didn't get a chance to update this thread. I've cross posted the gallery posts so readers can follow the story and return to this thread for what happens next.
Update 59 - They're finished!! So over the last few weekends we've been going through some final detail work on Woodstock to get it finished.
1) We found some of the front headlight wiring was not reliable so we needed to chase that through. 2) Also the hazard light switch wiring needed to be sorted as only one side was working - a byproduct of the change of switches. 3) When we MOT'd the car for the first time we found that one of the NEW wheel cylinders had burst so needed to be replaced along with the shoes. 4) Put "P" clips to secure the handbrake cable in two places. 5) Fabricate and install heat shielding around the exhaust to protect the paint, fiberglass and the wiring. 6) Ensure all wiring is secured in the engine bay, cockpit and rear tub area.
So now all these jobs are sorted I thought I would move to some vid and share the noise with you all..... hope you enjoy
Would love to come and play - though this will have to wait until the second half of the season at the earliest (for a bunch of unrelated reasons).
Until then I'll be out at the sprints - for the most part testing and tweaking.
Sounds good, can't you test between sprints?
I need to catch up on some family life... if we get a chance then I may well come along. Unfortunately my work life is pretty complex (working in the garage is only a spare time activity) and damands more time than it really should. I need to keep it all in balance.
Also, to do test days I believe you need a National Race B licence which currently I don't have. It won't be hard to get from what I've seen but fitting in the (week?) course/exam will not be easy.
Proof, if ever need hard work is rewarded. You should be rightly proud.
Thanks!! they have turned out great...!
They are both a totally different drive to a regular 4/4. The Blue and White car is positively mental! and from the Curborough taster day I can say they stick to the tarmac like poo on fur.
