Ok I said I wouldn't post but I took lots of photos and have to return some parts :cray: It was all going so well too.

Thanks Jelly for putting up with me this morning mate.

Lots to unwrap I think I broke the camera housing though shouldn't have tried the whiskey then tried putting it all together at 1 am well we live and learn.

Rotor thingy isn't meant to look like this this apparently.

This filter was a bit of a guess perfect fit didn't realise they were meant to be that shade of green.

Also found out why the air con doesn't work GBND4751.thumb.JPG.331a7b725d8d56b43a53e99bac8b7039.JPG

The jump leads did there magic and time for someone to polish a turd bird decided to give me leaving present and the paint on the roof is bubbling now really need a lock up sooner rather than later and certainly before a Respray.

i went for a bit of a drive down to Rayleigh and she’s a strange lil beast, engine light came on but the gear box feels much better.

engine light went off and didn’t come back on, 

oh and she’s de restricted. At 180kph she’s still pulling in 6th gear:D

the limitations are mainly me related I should have more faith in the car i really wish I could have got an instructor laps but m25

Because I have spent a lot of time making her safe and not driving her I got her up to 150kph probably more on straights and battered it out of corners jelly 170kph on the straight I saw.

Thanks to Jellybaby for being there in emergencies which didn’t happen, and for helping me collect parts on the way home at a horrific time of night!

He did a bit of graft though :thumbsup:I Hope you had a good day mate you were much better on track than me (for now).

thanks to Jay-c for waiting up and allowing me to collect all the parts at a horrific time of night sorry about the banking stuff it was a pain but it got sorted I was exhausted.

Yesterday’s time scale was bonkers

motorway 75miles accident happened 30 mins after we went through that meant instructors could not arrive

drive brands hatch Indy give it what we could and we were both pleasantly surprised

stopped in traffic for 2 hours this cost more in petrol than the bloody track day still 2 hours to get home after traffic 

She then became what she started as a van my little yellow iveco daily she’s done me proud.
