The black spoiler looks superb against the body colour.
As regards consumables the only decent ones these days come through Wurth albeit you pay a premium but they supply quality.

Most of the others I got from Namrick, who I’ve used for years, they’re good especially for imperial stuff.

Starting to get cold after work now. Will have to dig out a muff.

Front geometry now partially setup, caster and camber done, need to do the tracking. Drained the cooling system and replaced the stainless bolt in the water pump with a mild steel one and coated in Loctite so fingers crossed it’ll stop leaking. Oil catch tank mounted too.

Fire extinguisher now fully plumbed and breathers too. I’ll replace the tie wrap with something better later

Bit of Italian bling for the interior that’ll have the Porsche guys jizzing themselves apparently

Had a bit of a heart in mouth moment as the top end doesn’t look very oily, but ran it with the rocker covers off and all the pushrods are feeding oil

Have the brakes got better Tim ?

Haven’t driven it since I moved it on the drive. I’m not convinced, there’s this weird bit of a about an inch of pedal movement within the servo before it moves the master cylinder. It is set up as per the manufacturer’s instructions. It seems to be to do with the way the air valve in the servo works but I don’t like it. Fingers crossed proper drive sometime this week and we’ll see.

Had a week of electrician's getting my building up to spec for my insurance and me finishing the set up of the lifts.
Now I have perfect light in there I can get onto them again along with the Manta and some house renovation too.

Window seals fitted, what an utter pain in the butt and still not convinced the drivers door is going to close ok.

Cant get the front outside corner of the passenger t-top to sit down but given up for the day now, I can see fitting windows being particularly arsey
