Things have gone a little quite as I had run out of monies for a bit there

Anyway, I have now ordered some bushes, balljoints etc for the front end from our lovely site sponsor .

While waiting for them to arrive I gave in to my a bit... As some of you may know from previous builds of mine I have a tenancy to clean things beyond any functional requirements...

..This time I kept reminding myself that it was a track car and didn't need to be too pretty, so I wasn't quite as anal as I normally would be, but probably still well and truly more than most people would bother with.

Anyway, there was oil and sludge build up, particularly on the engine crossmember and steering rack and I cleaned them all up.

I figure one disadvantage of only using the car on the track is you get less opportunity to diagnose problems, so if everything starts off clean and with a new coat of paint then tracking down any leaks etc should be much easier... Well, that's what I kept telling myself anyway...

So anyway, things are cleaner now: (getting new tie rod ends, so didn't bother with them)



Also refitted Engine Crossmember, Castor arms and brackets and swaybar arms and brackets (after a clean)



Maxhag also lined up an interested party for the Z and today we reached a deal which will pay for a decent clutch and possibly stretch out to cover the fabrication of engine mounts too! Then all I need is an SR bellhousing and we will be able to start lining things up and cutting!

Fun!
