RMC590L Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry for any confussion.im doing all the jobs i have been meaning to do for the last couple of years on my 2000. I havetaken the rear suspension, subframe and diff out. Found driveshafts need rebuilding, diff needs resealing and most of the rubber bushes need replacing. Lots of work with little spare time to do it! Hence the comment 'what have i started'! Again, sorry to confuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 i still have to decide which car i`m using, One is ready to go and used so will just give it a service before hand, The other needs complete rebuild with major welding. Sills,front floors,Door skins x4 and complete respray, Would rather take the second onecheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshire_spam Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Gearbox+OD back in, rear oil seal changed, next it's time to re-foam the seats.... Owen has already supplied the foams etc. Once the seats are done it'll be time to refurb the hardtop just in case the weather forecast is not great for the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 New wheels/tyres (including new studs) fitted over the weekend, looks much better this way 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Reconditioned carburettors fitted. As a result the engine now pulls much stronger. Well done Roger.And after changing the points and some tinkering the engine now pulls right to the red line 8)Also changed the (still original) coil overs all round for some good used ones with Koni dampers.This has improved the ride greatly.

Spitfire2500 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Too much as it turns out :'( as a result of being unable to do any proper work on the cars since the end of October. Effectively, I'm six months behind where I planned to be with the Saloon - it should have been going for painting about now, it still hasn't got any of the new panels on it yet :-/I'm left wondering if Car 47 has set a record for the earliest ever call-off :B ??)

Spitfire2500 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It's just a personal thing Colin, but after the 400 mile drive to the start is factored in I'm not comfortable with the thought of doing 48 hours non-stop in a two seater. If I was able to work it out so that I could get down a couple of days early and chill out before setting off again I'd be OK with it - but that's not going to be possible this year unfortunately :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAJ Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I understand completely Bill, Dad and I have 3 big saloons between us, leaving Dad's GT6 as the plan D. I hope we don't need to make that choice......call me soft but I think the RBRR is challenge enough without doing it in a spit or GT6.Still a sad decision to have had to make though.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Wilson Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 well went out for a little run in the Moss on sunday, all started well the developed a little bit of a misfire. So that is to cure this next week before it's MOT.need to change the seats to, as the ones that are fitted are not suited for the larger person. Speaking to the Moss owners club recently at Stoneleigh they have said Spitfire seats fit. So I'll soon be on the lookout for some of them.We've decided it will be a very cosy trip in such a small car, but still think it's doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Driver's seat re-foamed, "just" the passenger seat to sort out now (and the hard-top)Slight unexpected delay in Triumphing caused by having to re-ring the pistons in the compressor.

CRAJ Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Pulled the diff out on the pi on the 11th May, new nose seal and rebuilt quill shaft housing along with some superflex diff mounts and a general clean up, paint and new diff oil. Back in the car Tuesday 13th and extensively tested over last weekend 's trip to the NYTW at Runswick. End result was a nice dry but shiny diff.Next project is an engine refresh,(no-one likes following a smoking Pi for 2000miles!) just found the Cords rings and VP thrusts, just shells to look for. Payen gaskets are sitting on my desk at work. Fingers crossed that the bores are standard size and will take a gentle hone Won't know until the head is off and only four and a bit weeks to the 2000 Register National. Better get started. ;)Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
