The pump is above the subframe, you can just see a bit of the blue body. The filter is in the pic that sprocket linked to.

Just finished all the unexpected welding







Andy yes, my welding is crap today. While it was on stands we adjusted the brake/fuel lines again. No chafing now.

Early start tomorrow. The MOT is at 10am and the interior is all over the garage and we haven't had chance for a propper check over yet

Good luck with the MOT. bet you can't wait to get it propper run in and set up :)

Not saying it will, but I tend to use the MOT test as a problem finder. It gives you a list you can work towards getting the ticket.

Thanks. My local tester is pretty straight. If theres something silly he will just tell us to sort it before it goes anywhere - always fails for dangerous stuff though. All the suspension brakes etc etc are all good. hopefully I've caught all the rust, so it's just the go faster bits that might trip us up....
the only anoying bit is that we won't be able to drive it further than back to the garage tomorrow. Ah well, no doubt we'll blow it up on April fools day

Cheers for that Colin. Lets just say my fingers are crossed.

As you say MOT will highlight any problems.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

good luck guys :)

Good work, Nice tax disc holder:)

nice... is it setup time now?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Thanks

It's running in time, need to get the fueling setup as best we can with the afr gauge and get some miles on it. Then we can wind the boost up a bit. It's booked in at Bog Brothers for the 22nd so we can get it setup and see how much power it makes.

It got plenty of attention at the test centre.

yes lets see what it makes at boggys ?

that tax disc is superb andy can you get me 4 please money waiting

Booked in for 11am if you fancy a little road trip, maybe call at the coast for some fish and chips

The tax disk holder came from ebay, I'll have a look and sort you a few.

Nice one on the MOT but how did you manage to get a 6 month tax disc today ???

They shouldn't have issued a new on until tomorrow (unless it was still taxed from its previous life)......

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Go to post office, ask for a tax disc for tomorrow hand over wonga, job done.

I thought you could tax them for the following month frmo about the 20th?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Yep, you can tax them early. If it's been sorned, then you can do it two days early:

There you go Rod.

Excellent, I wasn't aware of the two days in advance rule if it's SORN'd.

The normal "early" rule (almost a month early) is only for cars that are already taxed as per Andy's link which is what I was thinking about.

But, thinking about it a bit more, I supposed they had to put the extra "2 days" in because of weekends and Bank Holidays.

Anyway, you have it taxed, that's the main thing :)

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

well done :)

We have a few in Andy's cellar. However this one isn't leaking at the moment so can't be bothered to swap it.

Come on Joe, it's a special light weight one!

No doubt it will get changed when we sort out the shell in the Autumn
