Also I just looked and the MOT isnt up until 7th of November. I could a sworn it was early/mid October so I have a bit longer then I thought to sort everything out! Plus I have Malvern to get any bits I find I need!

Right well the car is still in bits. All the exhaust manifold studs have been removed next task is to put all the new ones in. I also went to MiniSpeed yesterday in hope to buy a Fletcher exhaust to replace the DTM but their delivery never turned up! So I'll pop back up their again soon and get one. Also another not really important purchase I made were some Paddy Hopkirk roof bars off ebay. I only just under £10 for them which I don't think was too bad.



I have now painted the orange bits black as well which gives it a much nicer look. O and the wipers I got at castle combe have been repainted and fitted with some aero wiper blades. I just need the little plinth bit in black and I can get those fitted!

I have Sunday off so I'm hoping most of the work I need to get it back on the road will be done by then! YAY.

Going to MiniSpeed again Thursday to pick up a Maniflow manifold, link pipe and fletcher back box! Cant wait. Once the exhaust it back on I cant start whizzing around in here again! Yay!

Also more chrome has gone black!




I really need to do the windscreen seal. I bought one ages ago but never got round to doing it. Now the windscreen has a crack in it so will need replacing before all the bad cold weather gets here so I think buying a new windscreen and replacing it with the new seal is the job for next pay day!

Thats about it for now. Thanks.

When you cover the dash rails do you have to take them out? because you can do that while the screens out to...

[leaky]

I probably will. I'm defo gonna get the headlining done while the windscreen is out anyway. Its just trying to find some time to do it all as I need help doing it as headlining is quite a task.

Well I am now £200 worse off. But I do have this lot of shiny!



Also wasting no time what so ever I have already got the manifold on!
