plugged in and labelled...



best bit of today.


worse bit of today

 

Bloody hell! Those top 2 photos look really scary mate!
Rather you than me, fair play to you!

Joe

 

looks worse than it is Joe

 

Yay, progress.

Your fingers fucked mate.

 

Woo, progress!

Micky, you dodging the swear filter

Oh and Ian your finger is definitely as Micky said.......

 

Dunno how that happened.

 

 

That looks ****ing painful!

 

wiping my **** is a fooking nightmare lefthanded

 

A few bits today...boost solonoid connector sorted, from this


To this


Topfeed connectors also sorted, so out with these...


And on with these. All the connectors were from Ren at Zen...ta


Remote ps reservoir...yeah I know I already have one but I wanted -AN fittings and this one matches my swirl pot. Thanks to Tony for bearing with me, I paid for this over a year ago and only chased him last week


Just need to decide where to mount the reservoir...adapter fitted.


PITA job sorted as well this 'arvo, moving the loom around (again) so I'm happy with the swirl pot fit.


Managed to find a photo of the bracket I need to mount the clutch actuator, blew it up to actual size and made a template to help give me an idea of what I need to do. No wiser...just can't see how it needs to sit, fresh set of eyes (and grey matter) required I think.

 

Great progress, Ian.

 

More progress, keep it up

How's the finger now?

 

Finger OK except for a lump over the damaged joint...just some more arthritis to come I guess and not even bmx derived

 

Well? 2 weeks, almost, later is this running yet?

 

PAS reservoir looks a nice item pal, any pics of it mounted up?

Joe

 

Since there's been no updates in a month, I'm hoping this car is now getting used.

 

Hahahaha I love your optimism Micky...been busy with house, got promoted and life in general. The good news is I've decided not to buy a Cayman until this is running else I'll never finish it; so a bit of added motivation there I hope. Understand how long term projects get broken now, you just loose interest as time passes and can't be arsed with it!

 

Loose interest, can't be arsed, enough of the excuses - now get out there and finish it!


Is NBO 2015 marked on your calendar yet? I'll come and hunt you down if you AND the car aren't there

PS my project car is nearly ready for primer

 

You are right of course Trev...would be great to finish it and I have given it a little thought as I think I may be ignoring it 'cos it's got to the difficult bits now!!!

You were always going to beat me to it...I've not even been on here so haven't seen your progress

 

I'm not often right but I'm never wrong

I agree with you Ian - the difficult fiddly jobs, that when finished don't look like you've done much, are really difficult to get motivated over.

Keep plugging away fella!! Like I've said before - all the blood sweat and tears will be worth it the first time you stamp on the loud pedal

Congrats on the promotion. Are you the head tea boy now, or his understudy?

I want to see you finish it and enjoy it. What still needs to be done?

It's your birthday next month, that was the planned finish date. 2 years ago or so.

 

Cheers boys you know I appreciate the motivational talk

Yeah Micky I now have my own pinny

I also have a bit of additional motivation; lovely new woman is currently interested (!) in it's progress...and that ain't gonna last long if I don't actually do something

Tick tock....

 

Been nice today, you done much on the car today??

 

Pics, or she is imaginary.

 

just read this from start to now and the work thats gone into this is amazing looking forward to seeing the end result

 

Banny I can vaguely here the car clock ticking over my poor aging body clock

Was a lovely day in Brighton Trev

Micky you are a bad man...but I'll forward your request for authorisation

Thanks xe dan...I'm kinda looking forward to it being finished too

 

Permission denied Micky...lets just say that even though I am blimming beutiful I'm still batting way above my average

although if you were a FB friend you would probably be able to work it out

 

Well someone who has you on facebook better step up to the mark and get the pictures up.

I don't have facebook and I don't want to have to get it to see this! So chop on someone!

And get this bloody car finished! At least the new mrs is interested so make the most of it........!

My mrs has even started showing a little interest in my car and has even volunteered to pay for the flat foot shifting and adjustable launch control

 

Noooooo! I will be killed in a painful manner

Car presents are always good...I've pretty much run out of things to buy for it now though
