    Tim I'll be servicing for Mike Stephenson,we have only got the car fixed today so have not put the entry in yet.Due to low entries you can get a run right upto next Thursday.Had originally planned to do the Open Class but have had a week sorting out a few problems with the clutch (well Mike and Neil have) so with no time to test and make the neccessary arrangements Mike decided its a little too late to chance the full Rally.
    When I know what number we are I'll let you know.

            Treated myself to a new (good quality )Tool Box and the fridge (garage ) to a fresh bit of carpet .

                Very good, you have got on quite a bit since the last pics, looks good.

                as a matter of interest where did you get the trip fuses from ?






                Love the 'Goth' tool box.................


                thanks for the update,

                  Been thinking about this for quite a few weeks now and I am nearly 100% sure that after the 2.5 year long rebuild of Project RAC which is all but completed the car will be up for sale within the next couple of Months







                  As the car is all but finished I have got bored with it and cannot see myself parting with a further £1500 to enter and have the car ready for 40 Stage miles of Rallying I enjoy it but not that much, so I will build the spare car up as a Track Car.
                  Will be takeing the Mex to Blyton for a days thrash about before it goes up for sale though

                          Nearly 9 years since I finished this car thought I would bump this up the first page for the new owner to compare resto pics
