GeoffLeggy Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Looks like everyone has had a good day . I finished off my full 2 stage paint seal today on the new paint. Used a bit of JetSeal as well which seems to be excellent on first impression. Will be using it for the foreseeable polishing off of the rest of the car and additional layers of seal.

stants Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 Discovered mayo in oil filler neck, hoping it's just condensation build up as only done A couple of short trips this last few weeks. Priming myself for the worst Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

PazzaN96 Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Today I have mostly been getting covered in glass fibres while wrapping the manifold in a nice new heat fabric ... Ohh and ordered a new oil filter and some nice 10w-30 for her service next weekend Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

But sounds like a good excuse for a rebuild .... cough cough forged pistons[emoji108]

Apparently because she's a nurse she's !Removed! hot at bandaging stuff [emoji23] 1

GeoffLeggy Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Picked up new wheels to give a go. On route and luckily only a mile away the rear sway bar bush popped out, sounded like the whole rear was about to fall of!

GeoffLeggy Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Yeah too right 😬 Thankfully yes 2 bolts loosened and popped back in 1 minute job. The car did drive beautifully there and back apart from that. First proper journey since September time last year!
