The entry for for the Lookout Stages Rally, run by Trackrod Motorclub http://www.trackrodmotorclub.co.uk is now in for the Escort and the entry form for the Metro to compete in the Phoenix Stages Rally at Manby will be completed and dispatched within the coming week! Yes... we finally have the confidence that both cars are as ready as they will ever be to compete!
I picked up an extra 5 wheels for the 'tro at the weekend and will be picking up a set of arches at the weekend and will be picking up a bodykit next weekend, so the car might not be the fastest but at least we'll look good! Or as good as is possible in a battered Metro!
The bits of electrical work have been completed and the Tacho fitted so hopefully I'll be able to avoid destroying my engine, the wing it in the final stages of being fixed after I spent a night last week fibreglassing and filling it (probably a little over enthusiastic with the filler - I'm sure it shouldn't have ended up an inch fluch of the wing!) - it's now being sanded and then will be painted at the weekend. The Oil and Oil Filter have been changed after a great deat of swearing and not a small amount of brute force - the filter was pretty much welded in place and the plug for the filter was solid. The seats need re-fitting, and other bits like the harnesses, helmet hammock and intercom need fitting but we're pretty much good to go!
