Then put it back together again.Build up the chassis using mainly new parts, finish off the tub, put everything back together. New engine, new carbs, Megajolt ignition... it goes on - and on...Hopefully everything new means it'll just slot together... possibly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6 John Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Nothing major to report, but I have just had some sponsors advertising transfers made to stick on the car during the event.They're very good quality and as one of the Gatwick CT members makes them for a living, he is doing 'mates rates' for anyone who wishes to have some made for their sponsors during the RBRR. If you'd like to know his details just PM me. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I *thought* about sorting my car out the other day. Does that count as preparation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulB Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Just got my Spit back on the road after sorting out the interior. Yippee ;DTim, according to Club Torque 3 people have withdrawn. Have anymore since its publication?The reason why I ask is that I'm number 5 on the reserve list so I believe I only need two more cars to drop out to take part! Unless you wish to have 102 cars running around the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a rough date of mid to late September!!Nothing like a tight deadline to clear the mind, eh? :-/ ;DIts fun this preparation lark!
