Ok,

Cars been mot'ed.
Just small jobs as abive to be completed by Joe. Stiff gear linkage and heater on hot.
I then should be getting the car back for a good clean and interior rebuild ready for lemans!

As i have the new garage at home updates should happen far quickly and should actually be able to use the car!

Cars back home. Moted and prepping up for Le Mans trip next week.

Running great atm. Joe completed the stiff gear linkage and found out the issue with heater always set to hot.

I may write alittle guide for this as I really struggled to find a replacement part and had to butcher another to fix.

All working now tho.
Cars running great. Pictures to come.
