Jason Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The big question is, do we go with the hardtop or the softtop - I was tempted to go with the softtop, it's not great but it works and keeps most of the weather out. However the car is far better with the hard top on for long distances and with the recent rain, rain and more rain I'm inclined to leave it on!PI re-plumbed but all around me is pretty flooded at the moment so a test drive before tomorrow isn't gonna happen. I think I'll do the wheel bearings tomorrow, I want to measure the seals as I've kinda come to a dead end with the Nilos seals idea - I just can't picture how they work! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Well the GT6 is back on the road. Gonna go for a 100 mile test drive tomorrow morning, nice and early.Boy its great to be able to drive her again.Also fitted lightweight alternator, something I have had for 3 years!

Just put the car on and wait for a boat to pass underneath so the bridge has to be raised. Good way to test the handbrake :PIf you don't believe that I'll try another explanation ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Steering coupling changed at last! Lights changed, PRV re-plumbed - bloody horn won't work properly though, well one will and if I connect another neither work! It's not the horns and the wiring looks OK - I'm beat!
