Patience my friend, patience...

To be honest nothing has happened, kids have been off for 2 weeks, and plenty of 12 hour shifts into the mix have scuppered any plans I had.

At least it's given the stonechip and applejack chance to go hard

It has long been said that Jimmy can be a bit of a dosy ********, but this time it's actually true. I've bought the wrong brake master cylinder

Bought ages ago from minispares and haven't actually looked at it till today. Balls

 

Any way, we had a bit of time on it today. R kid rattle canned the engine bay and we used the old fuel line as a template to shape the new one. Good to see my time in plumbing school wasn't wasted

Still waiting for the new brake lines to turn up, should be here any day, and when they turn up we can fit the front to rear one, roll it over and get the subframes on. Can't wait
