THE RACE IS ON

THE RACE IS ON.

I have just spent all weekend on the car in an attempt to get it running before it goes to the body shop. I ran out of time but I did get it very close. The car will now be at the body shop for two weeks, I have to get the car ready for the CT track day on the 1st of may so the race to get it finished has already begun. This means that I have from now until the 1st of may to do the following.

The car should be painted and out of the body shop in two weeks.
Install the brake bias adjuster and bleed the brakes.
Get the engine running.
Fit the seats and belts.
Fit the front and rear screens.
Make new aluminium door cards and integrate the mountings for the polycarb side windows.
Install and wire all the lights.
Design, fabricate and fit a pannard rod.
Fit door, bonnet and boot catches.
Design, fabricate and mount bumper brackets, fit bumpers.
Mount all finishing trims.
Track the suspension.

Oh and get it through the Mot.

Not to mention cycling the coast to coast and going to a wedding in Scotland, so that’s all got to be done in three weekends.

How the car looks today.
