Now that looks better (even if I do say so myself)

All that’s left now is “everything else “ lol.

What can I say, it was a bit more of a job than I set out to take on at the end of summer.

Engine out, strip the engine bay and repaint, fix blow on turbo manifold, serviced wastegate, replaced clutch master and slave cylinders and new clutch release bearing.

BUT … It was sooo worth it, well pleased with the result !!!

yay

Not posted anything for a while as been busy on everything but the car !!!!

W(p Have to say a big thanks to Kevin for letting me borrow the rear spats from his black elford.
I managed (with a bit of you tubing) to make moulds from them, then create new spats from the moulds.

Picture shows R to L Kevin’s original spats, my moulds, and the new parts made from my moulds.

Not too shabby, even though I do say so myself lol.
