an eventful day with the molest

Got engine & box back in the car. bolted everything back up & filled all fluid levels. started first pop & ran nicely till she warmed up. checked the timing, was running at 5ATDC, not cool, adjusted that little fucker & running nicely now. checked clutch operation, also good now.

Took for a quick drive up the road and everything seems to be in order.

Now just gotta replace the top radiator hose & change engine oil & filter & she'll be all g!

Just like new

I would have said yes to that a few days ago but as it turns out i have to leave Wellington and go back to the Naki tonight after work at 10pm! Cheers for the offer though :)

Was planing on rolling back through Palmy on Sunday to get it if your going to be home then John?

Na it wasn't that expensive. I have hooks ups through a guy at work who did all that sort of shit for 30 odd yrs, and hes a G.C. At the moment he thinks he can do the whole car for under 2k :D

That includes door cards, carpet, roof lining etc.

Don't think the guys gana be using felt for it, though i have to go back and talk to him about it tomorrow when i take the door cards and shit in.

As for the engine, i haven't got one yet but I'm getting hook ups there to. One of Flanges mates dads is a performance engineer so hes gana be helping out/ doing a lot of it. That starts in may so cant wait for that shit to get under way.

As for the body, now that I'm leaving it orange, it just needs to have a bit of rust fixed and some touch ups done and she'll be all good.
