Maybe I'll MOT mine on Saturday ? Or shall I leave it until Thursday of next week

I married a "wrong'un"

Not looking good
Just got in from the workshop after being there all day!!
Everything was looking good, started her up and enjoyed the sound of the new stainless exhaust
Only to see lots of oil pouring out of the engine!!
Looked like the sump gasket hadn't sealed properly at the back of the sump/engine where it goes against the bellhousing!! Obviously, the bit you can't see/get too!!

Got to the point of re-fitting the sump and decided to call it a night/morning

Let's hope the second fit was more of a success then the first
Not a problem though, only got a rolling road session on Thursday then the Lakes on Friday

[Dingy]

Found my vibration - have a little oil leak but its not dripping on the floor and its a cossie LOL...

Need a holley fuel pump which is ordered, fire extingusher to fit and to spanner check the car.

Very jealous dazzle & dingy - would much prefer to be ' playing ;> ' with my escort that staring a computer in the office!!!

2 days left lads, good luck!! Just bring lots of oil with you, it'll be fine!!

Very jealous dazzle

Jealous!!! Hmmmm, I'm worried about you!

Well, tht's 6 hours sleep and just about to go back down the workshop! Fingers crossed eh

Oh and did I happen to mention I love old cars?

[Mr Hoarder]

I'm just off to my workshop too, MOT is booked for 11am

If it fails I've got a day and a half to fix it

Having said that; I'm confident it will pass

[Dingy]

I too am sat here at a pc thinking i should be doing some work....

Just ordering the last few bits to get the car mobile for the lakes whilst also trying to figure out what gearbox to go for LOL...

Think the car has had about 6k spent on it in the last 6 months and its still needs another 8k to make it work

[Dazzle]

Well, good news from this neck of the woods No more oil leak

So, just going to go do a bit of shopping and sort my life out as I've not done anything this week!!

Lets hope tomo goes well

[taffr]

postie delivered my tax disc today, happy days

[RS2kSX]

Just tidy up a few bits and i'm done (probably go tit's by tomorrow)

[Dazzle]

Good news - The engine didn't go bang!
Bad news - The clutch started slipping on the rollers!

So, it's not set up properly but it is driveable. So, I'm going to do the Tour in it but just take it easy! That means it will be more of a 'meander' for me, looking at the scenery

I'm going to go and give it one last look over then possibly wash it in the rain!

It's all insured now so let's hope nothing more goes wrong
