mikeyb Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The Stag block is off to have some more machining today - missed spotting a cylinder liner that was protuding 5 thou above the top of the block. No wonder head gaskets kept blowing!I havn't given up on it yet, but I order to try and keep some sanity, I shall be checking out the Wedge today just in case!

Jason Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I've just spoken to Carl, the Sprint is now MOT'd and street legal so you can take him off the critical list and move him to a ward :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove pretty gently as it needs a bit of running in but I 'forgot' myself briefly and planted my foot in 2nd getting away from a junction. Flippin' 'eck, pulls like a train. I can't wait to unleash it properly.I've got to re-fit all the door seals and exterior trim (including screen finishers), wire in the front driving lamps, re-wire the headlights through relays, fit the oil cooler and maybe oil pressure gauge, buy a spare tyre and a few other minor bits 'n' bobs. Enough to keep me busy right to the wire. Gonna have a beer tonight though, chuffed to bits about the MOT :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
