I haven't updated this for aaaaaaaaaaaages
Back-tracking slightly, I picked KSF up on the Friday afternoon, then spent all day Saturday reassembling it ready for Stoneleigh on Sunday. Had a fantastic day there and my Sprint was put on the club stand as a last minute stand-in, which really made my day
Interestingly, the Carmine Red Sprint parked next to mine (belonging to tom16v) was built 110 cars after mine on the production line
Managed to pick up a few bargains at Stoneleigh, best was the 2 brand new rear bumper corners for £25 the pair
and of course great to put faces to so many forum usernames
Did a rather scenic route on the way home, so that was a round trip of just under 300 miles.
Last weekend I drove down to Poole as it was my Mother's birthday, again no problems and I covered around 300 miles that weekend too.
Then, as you've probably read, the day after I got back from Poole I went to go to my local supermarket and half a mile from home my engine dropped a valve
Still got the wheels to refurbish and the vinyl roof to fit.
So for the meantime, here's some photos of the (nearly) finished article
