    It's been a long haul - but you're finally on the road. You must be ecstatic. Well done

    A very long haul!
    2005 was probably the last time it was tax'd and tested!

    Road testing is being done now prior to my taking ownership back.

    Jobs for when I get her back (in no particular order) will be;
    1. Canopy seal - I have the correct seal from the group buy, it just isn't currently fitted.
    2. Front camber - there is a bit of positive camber going on at the front, I'd like it to be neutral or minimal negative.
    3. Interior - she will be untrimmed and I will be doing this myself
    4. Gauges - especially speedo, which is picking up a random signal interference from somewhere. Unfortunately they were just a little too cheap (If it looks too good to be true...)
    5. Seats - re-trim (low priority)
    6. Idle control valve - it's ageing poorly and sometimes hunts because of this, replace
    7. Electrical gremlin - the reason it took three attempts to MoT, it didn't get to the test station the first two times! It has been eating it's spark plugs, all of them, to the point that the insulation breaks down and they discharge direct to the block, not sparking at the tip. We haven't solved this, it has gone away.


    I'm sure I'll add to the list lol

    Congratulations! Looking very nice too! `¬)

    What canopy seal do you presently have fitted? There was some discussion that the seal on the group buy had been based on a 'relaxed' original - I have one too, and it is not the same shape so am interested to see if it seals properly.

    In any case, well done on the MOT and you can now enjoy driving it will doing your additional bits and bobs! `¬)

    Well done mate
    You have never given up on your car, and I am sure you will be giving that beaming smile all the way down the road.
    Happy times 😀
