Thought I'd put the date on it as I couldn't think of a snappy sub title... I've got an exciting car weekend coming up, extended weekend in fact. Yesterday I picked up the Datsun from the lovely Coltech Classics after they sorted out some problems with a fuel leak that I wasn't going to go anywhere near with a ten foot pole. Datsun is now back in my garage, so I can start to look at the other work I need to do on it, will be preparing lists and getting parts/tools as required. First thing will be to jack the whole thing up and get it on axle stands for easy access to everything. Before that though today I'm off to that there London town to clear out the rest of my stuff from The Dungeon and get it relocated into my garage so I can complete that (although I still need to lay down the rubber floor, still don't know if that will melt under exhaust heat...). Plus some forum stuff, I've got like 8 threads I need to write and then post over the coming weeks, plus a couple of car shows I saw pictures of on Instagram that I need to chase down and put threads up for. Busy busy busy... What are you up to?

Wiring and ecu mounting in the mx5. Finish roof painting and some main body paint prep for the land rover. Finish CAD model and 3d print the prototype my carb adapter design for the subaru.
Oh and wash the mx5, because it's a disgrace.

Tomorrow I'll spend the day sorting the garage, trying to find the spare gearbox I've got, after the one in the car finally gave way a couple of weeks back.
