I've got plenty before this week as I'm determined to get the Sierra on the road and take her to RRG! I know that most or all of you will have some to do before you make the journey to Gaydon and so far the list for me amounts to: - Fit new discs - New calipers and pads - Lowerage - Replace brake fluid and bleed brakes - New tyres on wheels - Fit some sort of stereo for trip down - Tax - Insure - Oil change - Check it all works and ill be safe on the trip down! So not much then one week before departure... But ill have plenty of help from TRG1984 and Wickedbad to get it done ;D So, wocha gotta do?

well I've got to.. err.. oh yeah get the garage to repair my engine so it works...
not even going to attempt it myself.. haven't got the tools, am not at all familiar with this particular engine.. or diesel powered engines at all really... so as long as mr bank man he say yes... then works should hopefully be done in time... if not I'm gonna cry in the corner and forget everything.

Well, i've gone and got the bits and pieces done on the GT but i'll not be making it over now. Ferry pricing has knocked me out after buying the car and its just not gonna happen. I'm gutted to say the least so I'm expecting LOTS of pictures and stories to try to make up for it from everybody!

Well i didnt take any pictures as i've been too busy but i've managed to get the engine halfway rebuilt today. I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow and put it back in. I've taken the week off work to get it finished so if its not going up the strip next saturday you all have permission to mock me mercilessly for the whole weekend.

I've got to buy some paint and masking tape and use it but that is going to be entirely dependent on the weather this week.
