Oh forgot, yesterday took it for a spin and overheated. Hence going to look at the cooling system.

It'll be going into the garage this week I hope to be lowered and fettled with.

Just remembered was offered a Honda CRX 1600 twin cam engine and all the components (basically the shellmand chassis has been removed) as a possible engine swap down the line. Might be worth picking up a unfinished project for that as a donor car.

Needs work but got it cheap, so makes it worth it.

 

Need to refurb my trailer and get it sold to make room for this.

 

Need to add, big thanks to CraigR on here for transporting it for me (dunno if he still comes on here or not...?) Cracking lad to talk to and if you need a decent plumber ;)

Fitted the nearside front Protech shock.
Glad I did as well, as the old Spax shock had separated from its lower rubber bushing!
Was holding on by about 5mm!
