It was a busy weekend, I got painted and forgot to take photo of it. 
also managed to give quick drive around block too. But the passenger side rear drum sticking slightly so look into that after replacing them all. Hopefully an easy fix. 
also managed to replace front braid lines so all nice and new. Bleed brakes up with all new fluid too. 

here is 2x pictures of the car that I took quickly on Sunday afternoon. 
 

just need to new Allen bolts for windows so I can install them, I managed to sand them and buff old windows up a bit which is a bonus. So at least there save able. I did order new windows from MK Indy but not going to use them. As not perfect match. 

Few bits of trim to add and good polish/buff soon once paint set bit more. just ordered few more bit all’s for it. Then get it out soon I hope. 
 

I’ll do full photo update on car in the next week or so when it all back together etc.

Since car been painted it sat in garage. 
I have managed to polish up all the aluminium managed to get that looking a lot nicer. 
General clean of the car since dusty from body shop.
need to fit windows and doors next. All new nuts and bolts turned up i am thinking about running with and also without the doors. It got holes so I bolt up some Wing mirrors on. 

Put bits of trim on around nose cone and side of bonnet mounts so dose chip paint off too much. Also be adding some ppf or vinyl on rear arches so stop few stone chips. 

last big job was to paint the roll bar so hoping car be in full use after bank holiday weekend. 

not everything will be done but at least car will be usable and I can have some fun in it again.

Managed to get a few hours in garage tonight. Finally seeing the light at the end lol 

Removed all stuff from painting roll bar and wipe it down and cleaned cockpit up again
fitted new TRS harness and cleaned up seats agin before fitting them with rubber flooring.

Been busy boy this weekend, rain stopped play on Saturday afternoon. but my daughter loved sitting car for a bit and also cleaned her car while I did a bit on mine lol 


Since Saturday noon it’s rain rain rain which sucks but I managed to do full oil and filter change on the car gave everything a good clean. I also fully cleaned on pipercross air filter too. While in there I cleaned out the twin 40 up a bit too. Don’t really want to mess with carbs so only light clean as didn’t want to brake anything. 

hopefully if fires up alright and got oil pressure and fans kick in right for the radiator am all good for some summer driving :)
