7 days off work, so might find some time to do a few more bits.

Had to use the car for work for the last 3 weeks, doing 100 miles a day. Covered 1450 miles since I got it now, and it's starting to show a little love is needed! 7000 miles from 1992 to July 2015, so this old girl isn't used to the abuse!

So I just went to replace the discs and pads, only to discover that this has 256mm setup and braided lines :)

This car really is the gift that keeps on giving!

Nice. Do you have discs on the back too? maybe a 22mm mastercylinder?

Still drums on the back, and original MC. Don't worry though, that'll all change soon enough ;)

Been having to use this for work the last 3 weeks, and racked up the miles, 1450 since the start of August. Finally let me down this morning, alternator belt snapped :( Not a hard fix, but complicated by being on the side of the road at the time. Still, buses to autofactor, and changing the belt on the verge are definitely preferable to going to work ;)

How's FrankenRoc doing? Did it make the Nationals? Great to see it having a new lease of life.

All been a bit quiet lately while I look for a better job to fund it.

Another update to say that nothing new has happened. Still looking for the right job, and moving house too. Anybody want a 3 bed semi in lower Walton for £220k?

Looking at a place in Northwich. I know there's a few on here around that way.

So, I haven't really managed any of my plans yet.

Taken a week off work to get this ready for the national on Saturday. Longer drive this year as I've relocated to Suffolk :)
