POL prep

LukeZS96 · 30-03-17, 09:28 PM

So with POL being little over 2 weeks away how is the prep going on the cars? Due to the Mk1 failing it's NCT on a list of issues I've had to get the Mk2 XPG back on the road at short notice and she's going for test on Saturday. (thankfully I didn't take the engine out of it or start any major stripping) So she will be getting a full wash/wax/clay bar treatment on the exterior and it's already gotten a full interior valet done this week. Other than that it will just need a good service as it was due one when it came off the road and 2 rear tyres otherwise it will be going to Longbridge on hairpins.
How is everyone else getting on with their prep? What are the job lists looking like? Not long now lads. Absolutely buzzing for my first trip over

I got my brakes and stuff sorted last weekend. I just need to tidy up the interior and have a wash polish and wax next.
I wanted to get my diffuser on but it's not going to happen.
Haven't enough money and the inlet is rattling like I don't know what and that needs done next.
And the gearbox
And the rear brakes painted

Well the blue mk1 is still sorned and work in progress. T16 is having a pre-MOT tomorrow, exhaust is blowing and has now developed an intermittent running fault, odd hissing when running and loss of power then picks up fine. No obvious faults found, all hoses okay. The ways things are going I think the old faithful mk1 will be on the road this year once I get it running, still have the immobiliser issue to address.

So fingers crossed T16 will be at PoL. Timing of the MOT and running fault is crap!

TBH I wasn't going but Mrs TC is working so I might, just need to decide which car.

It would be nice for Pete's T16 to represent the forum at the show. It will be a nice tribute to him. It's a car I also can't wait to see in person

Auroras engine is currently out ! Tensioner had failed. Got that to rebuild and get back in. Exhaust is being worked on also.

Got the V8 to polish, fix heater valve, wheel refurb.

75 Tourer needs hex bushes and gearbox fluid

Moonshine ZT-T needs thermostat, front spring, interior rebuild.

Spectre 75 needs seats changed, suspension too.

Yeah so Were gonna be busy!!

My Green ZS is dead and SORNED now.

Petes V6 is hopefully ready for its MOT this week, but as I'm at the fast show tomorrow (in the coupe) it wont be till Monday I book it in...

If it doesn't get through then it will be the ZTT, but thats playing up as well at the moment!!
