Pig Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So nice that I haven't had to prep the car this year (hence no fire photos). This year my prep consists of buying beer & jager and getting into Burna's car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRX Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Updated first post with today's work. I'll be using this thread to keep a personal record of all work done. Next jobs - Replace all engine hoses with Gates re-inforced rubber. Front wheel bearings Remove and inspect Prop for wear as its seems to have a fair amount of play and I have a feeling the slider may be sticking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
