I've filed it firmly under 'jobs never to attempt myself!'Actually wasn't that bad.One of those jobs that took ages because I was trying to do it without taking something else off, i.e. the brake servo.Once I'd decided to remove the servo, it took 20 minutes, whereas I'd spent an hour and 20minutes trying to do it without removing the servo, although admittedly, given the current status of the car, removing the servo was much easier than it would of been had I had to drain the brake fluid and if there had been an engine in the w

Yours looks the same as mine inside at the moment..... seats out and carpet folder towards the front i'll buy your home made press for the repair panel lol same repair needed on mine Making the panel is the easy part, welding it in was less so, mainly because I had to cut so much out it made it awkward to get in with the torch.Hopefully you won't need to cut as much out as I did.

It has been a relatively quiet 2 months on the car and bike front but there are some updates!RX7She came out of storage and basically took a trip straight to the bodyshop to get the spoiler quoted for as this had to get done. No longer could I deal with peeling paint! Then off for an MOT, which she obviously passed with flying colours.A week or so went by and I whipped the spoiler off the old girl ready for drop off.Gosh, that is alot of gunk on the lid!All the bits disassembled and on the floor. Unfortunately one bolt snapped off, so that had to get drilled out.Just a little example of some o

First of the '26 updates!MCSIt has returned! I am fresh off picking her up today and after taking a late afternoon blast to get petrol. She drives soooooooo well, I am genuinely chuffed. Which really is a good thing as it has been away for 6 months. She feels wonderfully compliant with the new Konis, which definitely supports my decision to not go coilovers. But even that has been a test.So the car would have been ready about 2 weeks ago, but one of the new Koni rear dampers decided to catastrophically fail on the first test drive and literally came apart. I've gone back to Larkspeed who suppl
