After 2 weeks of late nights and hard work sadly my car will not be ready for avon park. *surprised*

It probably would of made it until i snapped off a bolt into the block from the top engine steady..... Engine out time again....

Whens the next event so i can target my self for that??

PS i would still like to go avon park - will my fiesta be welcome instead?

if you snaped the bolt off just tightening it up nip down to a car store and buy some easyouts and give them a try before taking the engine out *smiley* or buy and fit an ultimate engine steady on the thermostate side if youve got enough room to weld a bracket on the bulkhead side that is dont give up now youve still got a few days *crying*

Ive just come back in from the garage, with my cowboy boots and hat on. It was the smaller bolt that snapped so i bolted it up with one and welded the bracket onto the 1mm or so of bolt sticking out. Yee ha - but it will survive for the time being
