LOL, nah, theyre on a seperate A4 sheet lol
Si, i cant wait to get it on a track day either
Sunday 24th June 2007
well, today i started all enthusiastic to do some work on it, but i just ended up going out in it for a while instead lol
anyway, managed to get a few jobs done. first off, it seems to be crunching as i put it into 3rd gear, and i remembered that i'd spilt loads of gearbox oil out of it! oops! so filled it back up with my DIY gearbox oil filler assembly lol
the blue hose goes down into the gearbox oil plug thing. worked a treat!
started to refit my NOS bottle and braided line
managed to get it really neat but it took alot of doing!
gotta finish fitting it and get it all wired in. gonna get a auto electrician to do all that tho lol
next, i decided to soften the suspension up as im not joking, it was soooo bloody hard, i felt like my teath were coming out! it was set on the hardest setting, so i softened it up all round to half way instead. makes it much better but still a little harsh lol
i also decided to lower the front down a bit as it was sitting arse end down. sits much better now
also put my other plates on and heres how its sat now

Nice work Dunc, know what you mean about hard suspension unless it's Silverstone it's just no good the lack of compression can get hairy on bumpy B-roads at speed.

right a couple of small updates nothing too exciting for now
Thursday 28th June 2007
got thursday off work and decided to start the dreaded job i'd been putting off for ages.........undersealing the bugger
everyone else at work (mates etc), so no one to disturb me, i thought it was the best time to do it
took a few pics before i started. As you can see, the underseal had burnt off in places where the shell had been stitch welded for strength. and i had been putting this job off for sooooooooo long Now it had gone a bit rusty, but nothing major as u can see.
went to my local Belper Auto Tech, and bought these few bits
then after some hard sanding, grinding, wire brushing, kurusting and then waxoiling and protecting EVERYWHERE possible, it looked like this much better huh? yay!
made sure it got a very very good covering in all nooks and crannies! hopefully should keep the rust at bay!
before i set off home, i wanted to stick down my boot release cable as it rattles about when going along. so stuck it down and left some weight on the places id stuck down over nite Ypu can see my paddle clutch has come in handy after all lol
Sunday 1st July 2007
well, now into July!!! scary! thought id better start giving it a damn good clean because im off to retro car show next sunday at santa pod, and the inside was filthy! bit of elbo grease later and it was looking like this
took me bloody ages lol! tbh, the pics dont do it justice
after all that, i then decided to waxoil the inside should have done this before cleaning! ahh well! i was pretty neat with it all
only got a couple of pics of Smed being master chef boiling up my wax oil
never took a pic of it on! oops!

Re: UT Restoration, New Thread. UPDATED 02/07/07 Undersealed and cleaned!
that thing ain't ever gonna corrode! its only when you see those last few pics with all the new brake's and hoses, and clean springs and completly minty fresh wheel archs do you realise its basically a brand new unoT, but one that won't be falling apart atall in the near future, good work
