ferny Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I haven't got to do anything, I hope! It's an odd happy/sad feeling knowing you're not doing it in your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Oh and I forgot about the brake upgrade to later discs...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 So Alex, did you time your newly acquired MOT so that it doesn't run out until after the RBRR?? Thus ensuring a panic free run up to the event knowing you can do it afterwards.Just wondered.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Colin,I'd be telling porkies if I said yes, however the previous mot ran out in august and it had occured to me that the timing was a little awkward ;)Its certainly reassuring to know its done though 8)CheersAlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think I need to rebuild my front suspension, it's getting a bit sloppy. Poly bushes I think. One of the CV joints is shot. I have a lovely new pair of 1500 CV joints but I need 1500 drive shafts to go with them, so if anyone has a scrap 1500 FWD lying around, I'd be interested. I was hoping mine would last long enough for me to find some 1500 shafts but it really is getting rather noisy now.I'd like a decent exhaust too but it will have to be custom made so it wont be cheap. Then the HS4's I have might make a difference. At the moment they make no difference at all so I put the HS2's back on.That's all, should be easy in eleven months but before you know it it'll be September and I'll be rushing to get it done.

willows40 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 think i have a fair bit to do, complete rebuild and respray in different colour,rebuild engine and a little bit of head work,cam change,exhaust and rebuild suspension but saying that it will be done way before rbrr as le-mans and hcr are before that.cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikew Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've got to do the clutch on the stag again, its all on/off at the limit of its travel, so its the usual actuating arm problem again.Or I have to finish the 4 by 4 estate - I think the stag will be a little quicker and easier somehowmike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the work thats left to do 3 or 4 weeks lost work is a significant amount.I had intended to have the sill and rear wing completed this month, roof back on next month, and the car on a "spit" so I can roll it over and attend to the underneath.Oh well at least on the bright side I will get to do the RBRR - although remembering the clutch issue on the Stag, Anne wants me to fit a Tilton coaxial clutch release to make the pedal nice and light for her. No issue with that on the 4 by 4 as its an auto.mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MURPHIT RITESPIF Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Have to Replace the water pump on the Dolomite which luckily enough only started leaking on return home after the Night rally in Holland. Also replace the prop carrier which Did decide to split half way around the night rally and give a noise akin to somthing not meshing correctly in the gearbox, luckily it quietend down in the high gears and it only turned out to be a £50 part and not a gearbox rebuild :DParts on thier way, the benifit of having a partner that works in lincoln frequently ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 You better learn then. Or, as I said to you, the Acclaim will still have its ticket when the RBRR starts. She's ready and waiting for you... Doesn't she look pretty. Look, Jess, look. She's calling to you... *makes Dove from Above style hand motions* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goody Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I see no problem using a Dolomite! I have done one and a 10CR in mine. My first RBRR was in a Aclaim. I prefer my Dolomite. But my Dolly is RED and the Aclaim is White.DollyRoo needs a new Rad and brake pads, then she's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Acclaim was white and Dolly was red? How odd! ;DBill, I thought the new rad was already fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
