I think the 8 is already upside down...

[Fishcop]

Oh, is 68 someone elses?

My PCQ number is 89, so thought I'd have a little fun...

I really don't see me having the car ready by PI, but if I do I'll still need to have my competition license upgraded (I'm still 2S). Might have to get Pritchard to drive it for me

Like everything, I see time (or lack of it) as the problem to finishing the car. I just need to clean up and repint the interior (in viper green), weld in the ROPS base plates, rebush all rubber in the suspension, rebuild the brakes, clean up the interior and rebuild one of the gearboxes. Both the L and S engines were running before, so I'll just pick one and drive it 'til it breaks . There's maybe 50-60 hours of work, but with trying to sell/buy the family home, xmas, work etc... I still think it'll be a 2015 season car.

Or you can just do regularity, a good way to shake the car down.

Good point Hung! Maybe the blue car can have a regularity run...

Think of the stone chips, oh the huge manitee...

[Fishcop]

The sooner it gets chips and road rash, the better...

Hey All

Well time has passed, I've changed houses and the blue car is pretty much done...

I've sold some bits/bobs/spares... Time to get back into Hilda! Just received my GT Racing F/R bumpers. The original steel stuff is getting pricey to replace, so so my stuff is getting bagged and stored. I now have to opportunity to paint the bumpers and alternative colour for contrast... But I'm leaning to keeping them Signal Green.

Depending on some house renovations, I'm hoping to have Grun Hilda finished around the end of the year...

Took a whole weekend to remove 45 year old suspension components... really had to work the MAPP torch!

Stuff is off to the powdercoater...
