IT'S HERE!


Taking no chances...


Next up, a quick service. Our VIC test is running a little late so we need to have the car tip-top prior to the VIC so it'll already be MOT ready because time is getting short. And we haven't even begun the important task of scarring the car. Anyway...on with the service. There's more than a little hole in the history so apart from the usual bits we'll do the pesky timing belt.

More Vandalism


Vandalism/practice, whatever you like to call it. We've been working on some ways to further scar the already traumatised Rover.

THANKS DAD!

A quick note, nobody in the team had the good sense to anneal the copper washer -so thanks to Dad for that tip!

The Competition


Rival Team The Slow and the Curious begin work on their Peugeot 406 John Deere Special Edition. Hicks.

Injecting a little life into the big girl!











We think the cooling problem is fixed, but just when it seemed the car was ready we noticed a trail of diesel following it everywhere it went! Once the injector was out we discovered we had every size of copper washer but the one we needed, so we went old skool and annealed it with a blowtorch. So far, so good!



Paint
















A little prep and a little paint, looking slightly more civilised. Not looking quite scally enough yet, but we thought it best to have the car look like it deserves an MOT before we attempt to get one.
