    i've been fixing this!



    first of all, the benefits of having an aircraft engineer for a dad!

    we've had it back on the road and it drives straight, will need tracking to get the steering wheel sat dead on 180degress horizontol again though! so it will be taken to a garage for that!

    its standing without most of its front end at the moment. Replaced suspension mount and am hopefully getting a new wing this week of a gent on here! need a new passengers side light and a new wheel, dont want to leave the 'temporary' wheel on there.

    Gah, I've been working on the car ALL day . Repaired fuel tank is on tho. Everything else I wanted to do is more or less done too. The fuel pump leaking didnt help, so that was replaced at short notice in the dark and cold. And after a jump start, she's back amongst the living. I put £25 of petrol in her, lets see how much is left in the morning (fingers crossed).
