Project GTA DD

Right-so ,that's all tested for MOT .Pedal box looks a bit crusty but got all the shite out and it works OK now .Good job as those bolts look like they'll snap if I try and get it out .
MOT ,get it gone for paint .

Anyway ,lets just adjust the handbrake as it's got zero movement on the offside ............Feckin bollocking shite !!

Anyone got a spare

YUK!!!!

... eek, at least you can clean it up with Mr Henry nice and quick

It's been a rotten week this week .....

Feck-off that's my wages

That's handy

Good news is its passed MOT - bad news is the water pipes need to come back out! Going to have to go for paint first.

They never went in ...well apart from build fit .....

Pissing pain in the asp but not unexpected ...j sprang a slight pinhole leak at the rear this time where I cant ' bodge' a repair .
Hey-ho ,no biggy ,nothing a weekend and Chinese can't fix

Collected the car from Lee's yesterday and drove it up to Andy to be painted. Drove really well and the conversion suits the GTA a treat, really smooth with a nice wide power band. I would say performance is on par with something like my old Clio 182 at the top end but pulls better low down.

Lees' done a great job of getting the injection lump in and running with a turbo fuel system and has carried out some truly horrible looking jobs (very rusty pedal box and handbrake change outs immediately spring to mind) and has just got on and done what was needed without a moments whinging. He has also spent alot of time chasing information on wiring and fueling for the conversion which I'm sure he hasn't charged me for. Thanks too to Big MVS and Andy Fieldmouse who came up with some very reasonably priced 2nd hand parts that were required.

Once it has some fresh paint on it and my leather interior in it it'll be a really nice car, drives very well on the GAZ set up too - better than I remember my turbo driving with it on - no idea why that is!?
