His is away for an MOT and service......

 

what did he buy?

 

He still has the MY?? stickered up one, he's also got a Mustang or something like that.

 

We're in the second week of Feb

 

Hope that's not a rather apt GIF, given the amount of flooding down that way.

Howay Ian, update please, or I'm leaving your fan club. Might join Blu's when he gets a new Scoob.

 

 

Morning chaps

Gif is pretty cool...you would have to swap the water for petrol though for the wagon

Small delay due to the blue car needing new n/s driveshaft, starter, lower ball joints and track rod ends, mostly caused by trying to source a starter heat shield...which has left it in the way! Hoping to get that sorted this weekend and the engine in next weekend...finished all the final jobs for the install though so literally have to just sort blue car and I'm there

 

hahahahahahahaha I've only just noticed the 'trails fan club' am flattered...and a little concerned

 

Mines only web like that for a year, Mickys even longer I think
Don't be concerned its just a little club to give you some moral support on your build................. honest

 

well it's not in yet...Renault Sport stopped play

So some photos;

Alyn supplier me some DEI wrap so I could finish my headers off...




Art fagin' photo of some hail in Feb

 

When do yo ureckon the engine will be in, Ian?

 

I might be going to borrow an engine crane from young Frayz tomorrow my friend

 

That's you told.

 

**** me you have some friends in high places

I will, I will

 

the force needs to be with the people subscribed to this thread to keep reading, that's for sure

 

I clicked hoping for some progress, I was wrong I should know better.

I hope tomorrow makes me happy

 

good things come to those who wait...yeah, yeah I realise I owe really good things

 

Just got home with this...thank you Frayz

 

Get off the internet, you've got an engine to fit.

 

Tomorrow Micky

 

Good luck buddy.

 

Fair enough, I suppose we can wait another day, it's only been like loads of days.

 

EFA

Good luck Ian, hope it all goes smoothly!!

 

Hurry up

 

It's tomorrow now - is it done yet??

 

EFA.

 

frayz will never see that hoist ever again

 

Hmmmm...good or bad day yesterday, I'm still undecided; everything ready, everything in place about to install the clutch and then I see it...tiny nick in the bearing cover of the spigot bearing. Nowhere open sells them, game over for the weekend.

I guess it's good really as a failure would mean engine out...just bloody frustrating being so close. Will ring Alyn Monday and sort a replacement; next weekend FTW, sorry chaps...what a tease

 

What an anti climax mate. Like you pal it's nice know that it's right and won't cause you any problems later down the line...

 

Yeah, trying to remain positive Joe...got a few yesterday anyways...
