Sent the front wheels off for polishing. Should be down to me Monday hopefully

Coming along well now, with new paint its always best to freshen the wheels. Where did you send them for polishing?

[NoelB]

Ya they had gotten a bit tatty and have been putting them on the long finger so no time like the present. Polished alloys on facebook. He's jn Belfast. Wanted to go to Brendan Gordon but he looks flat out and I was in a panic

Is Brendan Gordon good? Be looking to get my wheels polished and looking for someone good. Can you pm his details if you have them and think he's worth a call? Thanks

Pm team chihuahua or Romeo Caesar on facebook. He's probably the best in the country

We got stuck into the engine build Thursday night. Engine should be sittin in the bay by tonight.

Arp head bolts


Oil pump rebuild kit


Cosworth bearings in


New crank seal



Also picked up these rack spacers off James Spillane. Seem to be a really tidy. It's kit and a simple modification.



After sand blasting, there was a few patches that needed a shot of weld so, being a useless welder, I spent last night watching a mate make a right tidy job of it all

Seen this taday tidy job your doing lad

[NoelB]

Cheers man. Lot of man hours going into it in fairness. It's a long way off being ready for mondello though lol

[conor]

how do it get a set of those extra lock spacers?

[NoelB]

Give James Spillane a mail on facebook that's where got mine

[NoelB]

So the underneath is all treated now. Nice and fresh looking now.





Engine back together. Also picked up a nice little heat shield off Petko. The fucker always has something there to make you spend money lol



Threw on the wheels just to see how they will look. Back will need a 20mm spacer to have it sitting right. Fronts should be perfect.


Decided the last day not to push the car to be at Japfest, it would just be too rushed and things not done right. There is a lot of wiring to be done yet. So gona buy a crate of heiniken for the weekend and wait for Auto Hero's in October.
