or you could take it to a proper track day at Cadwell and give it a shakedown on the 24th july (day or evening)

I will be there on the 16th May if you want to come down and see the track

It's not going to to drivable for ages. Still got to sort what gearbox and set uo. And have a complete wiring loom made. And finish the engine. I was thinking more of getting it paneled up and windows in so it looks half decent. And I lived in hemel. It's about half hour from my workshop. .

This might be worth a look at Tungsten Disulphide WS2 Powder https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193072865151?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=777008&algo=PERSONAL.TOPIC&ao=1&asc=265569&meid=a6f62bc0b2614d5c8670be67844b979e&pid=101952&rk=1&rkt=1&mehot=pp&itm=193072865151&pmt=1&noa=1&pg=4375194&algv=WatchlistVariantWithMLR&_trksid=p4375194.c101952.m162921&_trkparms=parentrq:7a3a872118f0aab294efbe11fffe89d8|pageci:a1cd9bd5-1268-11ef-84cb-92c6e53fe610|iid:1|vlpname:vlp_homepage

Love an oil change. It's such an easy job, but the neighbours see you jacking your car up, getting oily messing with oil and filters and it all looks very serious.

Well been busy last few weeks when weather has let me, complete service as recirculation valve and air filter serviced new r8 style coil packs new plugs oil, oil filter, w5 domeight fitted,reverse camera fitted, also new seat belt webbing done, new tail lights just got new brake lines to fit but hopefully after it's mot on Tuesday then after that new front seats( that means my front Recaros will be up for possible sale) and very good detail to do. Feels good to being able to do some things 😌.

Well, after being two years lost, the "black beauty" went to MOT and has been banned with minor imperfections: right sided steering end rod busted.
I'm getting one of these to do the job. Seems pretty easy.
One question: If I do it very "slow" and trying to keep it "straight as it was" do you think I will have to make a full wheels alignment?
