![]() Here's whats been keeping me quiet over the last few days !!
![]() In typical me style .... The job has taken me 10 times longer than I expected it too ![]() I have a modded CVH sump I can fit .... May just have a crack at shortening the alloy one though .... How difficult can it be ![]() One major drawback with a 16v engine .... How long does it take to do anything with the valves !!?? ![]() Gearbox next !!

Not gone OTT spending wise on the engine wich was a freebee. Full gasket set & new head bolts, water pump, timing belt & tensioners .... All degreased & a lick of engine enamel . Just as well I removed the head .... The rusty water staining I put down to knackered water pump seals, was in fact a minor head gasket leak at the corner of the head. ![]() Why folk run their cars without anti-freeze/rust inhibitor is a mystery to me ![]() Once the gearbox is done, I can get the chassis back onto stands & do some of the fun stuff .... Play with some nice sparkling Red bodywork ![]()

![]() I am on course to have the last Roadster off the production line
![]() ![]() Seriously, with the exception of the prop & a new set of tyres, I have all I need to complete the build ![]() Just need to put my ass into first gear & get it all fitted to the chassis .... My target is to get the build finished by Christmas ready for IVA early next spring. That'll give me a couple of months to go over it with a fine tooth comb .... Personally, I cant handle the pressure of a tight timetable to prepare for the IVA ![]()
