Massive Plans

BIG NEWS!!!!!

Gilly and I have decided to go to Italy in the summer, the really big news is that we are going to drive the whole way there across the Alps in the GT6!

Could be a great trip, could be interesting, any advice on spares?

Wheel Centre Caps

Having bought some Triumph logos off eBay I have finally got round to replacing the MG wheel centres.

Process: remove caps, remove MG logo, fill indentation with epoxy, apply sitcker, done!

New Speedo Arrives

My new electric speedo arrives from CAI. Really impressed by the look of it, similar to the old speedo and the quality looks good. I guess it should for the price.

Injury Slows Progress

Fractured my skull playing hockey at the weekend. Spent some time in hospital and most of this week sleeping. Progress on the GT6 might slow a bit......... nah

New Bonnet

Just got back from a long trip to Plymouth to pick up a fibreglass bonnet. The photos showed all of the major damage to it but unfortunately it is covered with star crazing. Oh well that's what you get when you bid on eBay I guess.

New Shocks Go On

Bought some nice shiny new AVO shocks at Stoneleigh. Fitting was easy enough, removed the old ones stole the top plates off them and then popped the new ones on. The difference is amazing. Despite having harder springs they are more comfortable and the car handles better. In fairness to the old ones they were WELL past their best.

More Progess Made

Another trip to Kent get the car closer to being back on the road. Some repairs have been made to the scuttle and around the rear number plate. More bodging applied to the bonnet to survive another few months.

mx-5 seats look great but I have decided to sell them as I/they don't quite fit :-( Good for Gilly but she is only 5"6'

Can't be bothered to put all the photos here so view them at http://picasaweb.google.com/DoZandGilly/GT602
