    Got all the body pieces assembled, and went for a practice. Sadly after few runs the alternator decided to die and the practice session was over for me! Now I ordered a new alternator and hope that there will be more good weather to test the car!

    Hello everyone, long time no updates from my side. Last Sunday we had a spring fest gathering and before that had to sort out some issues with the car! Last year after first proper test, had issues with power steering and that the clutch pedal had to be with a hair longer throw. Also on the trailer saw that there was a small oil leak between gearbox and engine, as we changed all the seals on engine I was hoping that it was from gearbox and yes it was. So I replaced gearbox front seal and now it is sorted, also found out that one of the AN lines for power steering was leaking witch I replaced and also welded some fittings on the stock PS reservoir so there is some restriction.

    At the Spring Fest the car was sorted and working well, but as it was 27 degree Celsius the car started to struggle with high coolant temps, also two times accessories belt was thrown so have to sort out that.
