It's finally getting there! Pretty much everything finished tonight, just a few small things to do tomorrow then it's the big clean lol.
Tonight:
Fresh numberplates
Hot idle sorted, basically added a new hose and separate filter for the idle air valve as it just wouldn't work breathing through the main filter.
I didn't have anything that would fit inside the breather so my old man turned me up a stainless insert on the lathe. Perfect
Strut brace fitted with correct bolts in the strut tops, I was intending to have it powdercoated before pugfest but ran out of time so it'll have to stay yellow for now.
Small leak in the exhaust fixed, sounds much better now
Tracking straightened ready to drive into town ready to have it done properly
Cambelt tension corrected, lovely and quiet now
(I bloody love the Xu10 cambelt cover, q
Literally a ten minute job to tension the cambelt and put the cover back on)
New wiper blades
New wind deflectors
Cooling fan override sorted
Bolt check
Fluid check
Electrical check
Big day tomorrow!
