That's a fair list Alexis. I bet you can't wait get this on the road?

Really looking forward to seeing you'r car up and running Alexis. Well done mate.

you and me both!
cant bloody wait!

Cheers guys. I can't wait either, just getting quotes at the moment to get the car transported back up to Lincoln, cheapest so far is £155 to get it taken 176 miles

thats not bad...

you sorted out the other bits and bobs that needed doing?

Quote is now down to £150, shiply.com is a great website

Marco, not yet. Tow plate is on the way to me and waiting for Joe to call me back regarding the brake fluid reservoir, then that's it. ABS problem won't stop the car being mapped.

That isn't a bad price.

This is looking cracking, Alexis

I'm really looking forward to seeing this out on a track soon

may be he will get it there for the 13th March!!

No chance, credit cards are taking of a bit of abusing at the moment

dont worry, just rent your self out like normal to pay for it!

Begbie...

i just took a moment out of my life to re-read the hole project.

So happy you have managed to get it to this state..

glad your showing 2bar + on just the starter motor!

bet your over the moon!

p.s i bet Becky is happy its all nearly coming to an end!!

Great news Alexis.

Those DEFI gauges are the nuts!

Glad you sorted the oil problem Begg, I just had to come over here and say well done !
Will you do the first start up before it goes to lincoln ?

Cheers Tricky. Cheers for your help over on Evoforum too It will be started up in Lincoln, as Phil doesn't want me to do it incase there is any issues.

Looking very good Begbie.

Still haven't seen your coupe in the flesh though

My goodness, you have put in a tremendous amount of work, money, blood and sweat and finally its paying off.

Hats off to you dude.

It would give your coupe a run for it's money on the bodywork stakes

Glad you decided to finally read the thread

Cheeky get!

I *might* have a solution to my ever decreasing lacquer conundrum. Moving house and potentially have a spare empty garage at my mums (when I move all my stuff out) - so could potentially do lots of prep work on my car.

Also know someone who might be able to spray it at trade price.

Ofcourse this could all go out the window as parenthood and mortgages are the coupe owners worst enemy.

Does this mean you aren't a dab hand with your spray gun yet?

Congrats on the sprog

No, not practised with a compressor yet, been far too cold to even think about attempting it, but i will give it a go. Being all one shade of yellow is better than grey, yellow, white / yellow and a patch of white

Begbie, you have far too much money and time

and a luverrrly coop..

Catch '22
If you have the time the moneys not there, and if you have the money the time is spent at work.

Looking excellent Alexis!

News in from Alexis,

Car started and ran fine, need a small adjustment to ignition coil wiring, a bypass for the fiat ignition switch power (something that can be sorted later). Phil added another inlet pressure take off for monitoring.

On starting an oil leak appeared, this was the seal on the exhast side balancer. Guy Croft came and fixed this for Alexis as he's a good guy and 2 minutes from Phil's workshop. Text just in says its all being put back together now (cam belt etc) then some low end rpm running will be done.

Rich

cracking news!

glad there is no bigger issues!

i bet alexis is buzzing!

All fixed running well and sounding nice.

Marco, alexis say he's not quite buzzing yet.

tell him to man up and stop being a

Oohh exciting stuff. Guy Croft to the rescue!

I assume it was because the balancer shaft has been removed/blank off and that was leaking?

I hope the engine is still all shiney

Blimey, its taken me a while to get through this thread, but its been worth it, very interesting.
Looks bloody brilliant!

Good luck with the finishing touches.
