… so, I actually managed to get up and start on the car nice and early, and got the car totally stripped, and then started on the rally car. Removed the gearbox, sumpguard and mounts, and the front and rear suspension. So now I’m waiting for the LSD to arrive so I can put it in the new gearbox, then put the front end of the car back together, complete with the new strut tops, struts, wishbones, discs and pads, with rebuild driveshafts. Mechanically that should be it for the front end. The back end is looking good too, with just the rear struts to go back in place once the new top mount washers have been made (which I should do during the week, one evening).

There are still a lot of niggly litle jobs to do, but I’m hoping that by the end of next weekend the car will be basically done, and ready for a week’s use as road-testing – that still gives 2 weekends to work on little things and sort out any problems.

That’s the plan anyway.

Oh, the scrap Felicia has gone – might be a record, I only owned it for 34 hours!
