I got a text from George yesterday and he thinks he will be fit to do it in the next couple of weeks. I asked him as I wanted to be sure it would be ready for the Dreadnought night and he said it should be....

Once the engine is swapped I will plan on doing the brakes. Dont really want to spend any more cash on it until it moves of its own accord!

ah right, thats good news. I mention the brake issue because if the fluid boils after its first few laps, that could be the end of the tracknight.

Yeah I know what you mean Luti, will be coming in for plenty of cooling periods! But yeah, all that needs done is belts changed and engine swapped. George has the replacement oil pipes and new oil to finish the job so hopefully he will be up to par soon.

Wish George all the best, sounds like he has had a bit of a rough time of it recently, glad he is on the mend.

Sorry for not posting much, but have been quite ill due to a minor heart attack 3 weeks ago.

So just been resting.

I hope to be sorting this within the next 2 weeks so that it can make the Dreadnought track night, as i dont want to let the guys down.

Thanks for the kind comments too !

look forward to seeing peeps at the trackday.

Back from my holiday down South and met up with George and Ross at ran Hatch which was great.

Still unsure of timing to get the car fixed, just never seemed to get matching days lol but am hopeful of soon. Sadly cant get 14th off work so wont be able to make the first track night unless the boss is nice :P

Will keep everyone posted though!
