The electrics have taken a big step forward one the last weeks culminating in power in the car a few days ago. Now some fault finding to do to chase down the errant circuits but nothing fried and no smoke so real progress! Few pictures to follow. The main relay box and distribution boards are behind the passenger foot board, and hidden by it when it is hinged up.

OK so a very exciting day yesterday. Powered up the car having fixed a loose connection or two, and....everything works! Only things missing are flashing of the indicators and headlight dip, oh and the windscreen low and high speed connections are the wrong way round! Need to check the flasher unit (and it is the correct one for LED bulbs), and the latching relay for the headlights. Once fixed that means i can complete the final wrap of th exposed cables and button up the dash.....Then its back to the motor and fixing some pushrod tube leaks......

Apart from being diverted by other projects and gardening over the summer I thought I had missed out on Notifications and didn't know what had happened until I saw Sir Andy's note on the problems with e mail providers etc.

Anyway Autumn approaches and i think I have enough tokens in the tin to divert from home projects back tot he car and the finishing straight.....

In the meantime I did manage to fill the holes in my front bumper with some nice 3D printed grills after spotting a real GT at Silverstone with similar grills. Here are a couple of pictures to show off my new found CAD and 3D printing skills.......

So finally I was able to tackle my leaking pushrod tubes and over-size exhaust stubs. My son Harry came up to see us in BC at Xmas and brought with him the new exhaust stubs from Joel at GT Racing in Colorado Springs. Together with new CSP pushrod tubes I think I have a set up that looks the part and seals solidly. I am sure the experienced guys here know only too well to fettle the O ring receptacles in new heads to ensure a smooth entry. I know now......after carefully cleaning the sharp edges I found once I had the first set of tubes out the new tubes and O rings slipped in just fine. Have also resealed behind the flywheel where I have a couple of oil gallery plugs which I hadn't sealed well enough it would seem and put in a new main oil seal while I was at it just to be sure......Another couple of wee jobs and we can get the engine and gearbox back together and set up for a further run in my test stand. Here's a couple of pics......

She drives….. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Took her to the local test station for my friend Douglas and his mechanic to cast their eyes over her. Soft brake pedal was the only comment otherwise clean bill of health from a safety point of view. Still a bit of oil finding its way out and the gear change is a bit random but hopefully both fixable…..

So onwards and upwards - completion beckons and then running in before the big trip at the end of June to Le Mans for the classic….
