Cheers guys

The car hadn,t been started for a few days, & it seems that oil is getting passed the valve stem seals, Hmmm , maybe I need to change them.

Nathan, the IVA prep is going well, just a few odd jobs to finish, mainly finish tidying up the odd wire here & there, set the tracking, camber etc & then its all done


Have I ever said " I hate auto electrics "

cheers
andy

Cheers David

Yeah, its a great feeling driving it, as was saying to David17 ( who took the video ) yesterday,
The feeling of driving something you,ve built from scratch is hard to describe, all the bad days during the build seem to get totally forgotten & just feels great that it was all worth it the moment you press the clutch pedal & engage 1st gear

I couldn,t have done it without this forum, the advice, the support of the members of this forum has been invaluable to my build, thanks all

Hey David, no worries about Stoneleigh, I,m sure we,ll catch up soon.

cheers
andy
