Well the day finally came, never driven it in my ownership and had it since may last year. the cardboard was just incase it sprung any leaks so I could identify them easier. There’s a tiny seepage from the sump which Connor did warn me about so I’ll re seal the sump

Can’t wait to drive her tomorrow, granted there will be no bonnet or wings lol but it’ll be the first drive in a v long time!

Also finished off the bracket. Pretty happy with it and it’s positioned the bottle nicely. There’s a little flex so I might look at additional bracing in the future but for now it’s nicely mounted

Managed to get them freed off, stripped, cleaned up and painted. If all goes well then She should be able to drive around by the end of this weekend.

I did plan on just painting the front callipers until I got them off and realised they were twice as bad as the rears and seized.

Yeah I’ve got myself a decent soldering iron and heat shrink set so once everything’s running how I want, I’ll be tidying all the wiring up 👍

I don’t post on here much as me and Trav are in touch almost daily but great updates as ever. It’ll be a little monster eventually with all the right bits

Excellent as always mate, looks cracking. if I ever own one again I’d be tempted to somehow do a 5 stud hub swap to allow the fitment of the safaris from a series mcrea. They are and inch bigger I believe, with a greater offset. Would be almost stock with a little twist

Looking good mate will catch a few cars out

Lovely motor, well done mate

I'll post up once it's on but to be honest, getting the braking system refurbed so the car can drive is the main priority at the moment. Fingers crossed with the import tax then ha ha!

Looking forward to a test fit after christmas although i've got a month off so i'll be taking a few bits home to work on over that period

It arrived in less than a week and had no import tax (can be luck of the draw i think). It was well packaged and i've got to say i'm impressed with the quality.

So I decided to sell the fmic set up that came with the car as I felt it was a bit overkill for a ct9 and I didn’t want to butcher the front bumper to make it fit. It also had blue hoses and the pipework routed over the exhaust manifold. I toyed with modifying the pipe work, finding a smaller core and getting black hoses but it just didn’t seem worth the hassle so I took the plunge on this kit which was recommended by a friend

Thanks very much, sometimes I think I’m too anal for my own good though

Jesus mate 98 spec interior for free! You’re a gent

Knew I shouldn’t have left it there. Answer is no I’m the line manager 🤣

Slow progress I’m afraid due to work but the rear callipers have now been stripped and rebuilt. Got hold of some metal so ill be fabricating the new header tank bracket next.

Ah don’t worry mate I’ve pretty much made it now.
