lmao tom!

It's a weird feeling really - I really can see the potential of the car, and i really enjoy working on it, but my god, it needs some work. I am trying my hardest to get it ready for our move (weekend of 27th aug) - which is why I've started wacking the new arches and stuff on. Tonight i'm taking a break from matt-blacking, and will be removing the crappy wiring loom, and putting in the door bars + drivers seat (tom, i know you said leave it out, but we need the space in the house) I might even start painting the interior.

I emailed MWS about wheel nuts, but haven't heard anything back yet, so the new shoes can't go on yet.

The car will be great when its done, but its a long way off yet.

Cheers mate. It's all dependant on TomF getting a free couple of days - We've got a Loom (Cheers Neil!) - so it just needs plugging in. We want the engine in first though, so we can get it all working at once.

That does sound like a fantastic idea...
Volunteer whoever has the most suitable workshop setup,
Everyone converge there on a Friday night: Beers.
Saturday: Everyone work on the TM frog.
Saturday night: beers.
Sunday: Everyone work on the TM frog.

That'd get it done in a weekend - maybe prepped and sprayed aswell...

I'll have a better idea of free time from next week when I know what my rota is going to be.

Rip all the old wiring out, yes.

Haven't got new loom yet, need to go to Neil's and take it out of his car first......

Small Update

Today i stripped out the wiring, put air in the tyres, as it was looking sorry for itself, and fitted the bonnet. also tidied the engine bay a bit.

I found some rust holes, which will need fixing before MOT time, along with realizing that one of the mambas is an inch bigger than the other 3..
