Well bang goes trying to get the car out this weekend, as Gateshead has a freak artic storm! dam I had planned to put up the shed and go for a drive to tynemouth.....
Well it has been a while since I have last posted, in that time I have had the car out loads even in -3 degrees on the way back from the club meet... thanks god for the hat, scaf, gloves and thick coat as the heaters aren't really upto much, but the car seems to be fine.
I haven't had to do much to the car I had a slight overheating problem and had to flush the cooling system and change the thermostat. Also had some fun with the sump nut as it still won't come off. But Kwik-fit had an ingenius contraption for sucking the oil out so that didn't cause to much of a problem, shame I had bought the new nut and the oil to do it myself I supose it will keep.
OKIE needs a couple of u/j's on the propshaft and a full lubricate trunions and so on.... hopefully do that before the end of march weather and iminent baby arrival permitting. It's due the end of April but as they say could come any time now.
I plan to fit the pipes for the pre heated manifold soon they are all there waiting for the warmer weather, ironically!
will write again soon
