Nick Jones Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Oh, time is marching on...... looks like the old engine gets to play in the Alps again. Best pack plenty of oil and Wynns!New fuel pump needed - old one sounds like it's full of rocks now. Tracking all round. Get front wheels properly balanced. Full service. Dig out some spares (used a lot of my "spares" doing the PI - EFI conversion!)Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a peculiar vibration at low speeds but at 70ish not a problem prop is off to be checked but it's only done about 5k since overhaul, I have ordered the mintex 1144 pads which should be here in August.

32valves Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Last couple of jobs to do on Bill's car (I hope !) then it's on to mine. So far all I've managed to do is get it running in the yard. Needs an MOT in the next couple of weeks and there's a few jobs to do. Running out of time as I'm away for about 15 days in total between now and the start.

Radders Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Still undecided on which Mk1 saloon to use yet. One needs rear wheel bearings, possibly a starter motor and paint, the other needs the head removed (again!) and a noisy gearbox sorted out! Not much to do then!!!! :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpbarrett Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 gave GT6 a full service over the weekend. Took gearbox cover off (hate that job) and fixed gear lever, did gearbox oil and sealed the cover properly. Only jobs left are fit controller for electric fan and fit an eletric fuel pump. I wonder if I can leave the original one in place as a spare? Would running it dry kill it?Still need to get the backup car (Herald) ready.... thats needs full service and gearbox OD problem sorted.42 days plenty of time......Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
