2 weeks to go!

Inspired by seeing Pauls new car fire up for the first time this weekend, I thought it was about time to get my old car running again and ready for our first race in just 2 weeks time.
Since the last update, I have had the CAT fitted, changed the Oil, Oil filter and fuel filters, replaced the front brake pads and checked the exhaust packing.
This weekend, I put some fuel into the car and checked for any leak around the filters that I replaced and after fitting the final fastener, I refitted the repainted interior panels. The belts and seat are back into the car. I am waiting for some exhaust packing to arrive and then I can refit the exhaust system to the car. Other than that, outstanding items include fitting the front towing eye once its finished being painted, a slit needs to be cut into the front bodywork for the towing eye and the I need to check the tracking.

In the meantime we have purchased a newer motorhome like the one pictured here. We decided to go with something large enough for Dad, John and I to comfortably spend time in, a garage at the rear and facilities to enable us to use to for holidays as well as the racing.
