Anyone else running a little bit behind schedule?  Was hoping to have this mot'ed by last Friday. Still gotta finish the sill, weld a bit of the chassis leg and inner wing. Sort a running issue and then see if it'll pass it's first mot in 2 years. Who else is pulling late ones to try and get a car ready for the weekend? |

 This was saturday, when we had high hopes that my mates car was going to make it. Sadly after a day working on it, it's just not good enough to make the 1000km roundtrip, so he's taking another car. |

I always enjoy the last minute, getting ready threads (not my own but reading about other people’s is a lot less stressful ) Good luck, let us know how you get on |

Bunking off work tomorrow morning (I'm self employed, nobody will notice) to try and improve my bodged up exhausts in various ways that nobody would approve of. Then Friday morning I'm hoping to give it a good wash and wax, and try to polish up the wheels a bit, and maybe spray some flaked paint with rattle cans (before the waxing, obviously).
I've got it relatively easy.

Good luck, let us know how you get on Badly. Failed the mot yesterday on a small bit of welding, emissions and a ball joint. I think I've sorted the emissions, I've done the welding but can't find a ball joint anywhere but off the net. A local lad did say he had one he'd sell me but he's stopped replying to me. So it's currently sat with no lower arm on, and looks like it'll stay there until a ebay ball joint turns up  So I'm jumping in with a mate and trying to put the last week of stress and late nights behind me. See you all there 👍 |

See you all there 👍 Have you definitely given up now? If not try contacting Perry Feighan / Tom Shaw (http://slipwheel.com/ or via slipwheel youtube - They're local to you and have / had S13s and S14s so might know of a source you can grab one from. |

Disastrously one of the fag lighters in the Honda isn't working. And I've not been able to get her washed in time. Think I might just knock this on the head ;-)

I cant find my wax polish, and my rear tail lights are finally falling off after being temporarily fitted in mock-up form for two years.

I'm defeated. Volvo drove lovely yesterday but on the way back from filling up with fuel tonight, it seems there is still a clutch issue. Now aiming to get the beast to RRG |
