Quick update as I'm knackered.
Gearbox is back on.
Driveshafts attached.
Exhaust surround repainted (Satin Black!
)
Hopefully, all going well, i can have all the rest of the rear end reassembled tomorrow night.
There a small bit of water in the valley on the V8, but i expect this is either one of the 2 pipes to the water pump or the thermostat housing gasket. Should be easy to sort. (famous last words?)
If i can get it drivable by the weekend and finish bleeding the new braking system then possibly.... just possibly... i can get it booked in for an MOT in a week or so and you never know, i may just make Stoneleigh!!
What's that..... a deadline.... oh dear
