Well Bingley is getting closer..

Revised plan of action..

Fit the cones/hi-los/shocks

Fit the engine..

Poss do the interior..

Leave the wheels/brakes etc for later..


Got a full day tomorrow so I aim to get a lot done!!

[MaxAndPaddy]

No wheels or brakes?...are you surfing to Bingley?

[Shifty]

At this rate that could be a good option!!

Are you going to Bingley?

[MaxAndPaddy]

Highly doubtful....I dont think this year is going to be our year for shows. Too much on with dinks and teenagers

Got the MG rally to look forward to though

[Shifty]

I did promise progress!!

New cones and Hi-los fitted





Also fitted new rubbers to the stabilser bar as well.

And then this happened..
