My car is moted until after the 2010 but I still need to fit my new 2.5 engine,manual overdrive conversion,antiroll bar and various other bits and pieces.
Whos got the most to do this time I realise mine are "small" jobs? |

I haven't got to do anything, I hope! It's an odd happy/sad feeling knowing you're not doing it in your car. |

So Alex, did you time your newly acquired MOT so that it doesn't run out until after the RBRR??
Thus ensuring a panic free run up to the event knowing you can do it afterwards.
Just wondered.

Colin, I'd be telling porkies if I said yes, however the previous mot ran out in august and it had occured to me that the timing was a little awkward  Its certainly reassuring to know its done though Cheers Alex |

I think I need to rebuild my front suspension, it's getting a bit sloppy. Poly bushes I think. One of the CV joints is shot. I have a lovely new pair of 1500 CV joints but I need 1500 drive shafts to go with them, so if anyone has a scrap 1500 FWD lying around, I'd be interested. I was hoping mine would last long enough for me to find some 1500 shafts but it really is getting rather noisy now.
I'd like a decent exhaust too but it will have to be custom made so it wont be cheap. Then the HS4's I have might make a difference. At the moment they make no difference at all so I put the HS2's back on.
That's all, should be easy in eleven months but before you know it it'll be September and I'll be rushing to get it done. |

think i have a fair bit to do, complete rebuild and respray in different colour,rebuild engine and a little bit of head work,cam change,exhaust and rebuild suspension but saying that it will be done way before rbrr as le-mans and hcr are before that.

I've got to do the clutch on the stag again, its all on/off at the limit of its travel, so its the usual actuating arm problem again.
Or I have to finish the 4 by 4 estate - I think the stag will be a little quicker and easier somehow
