James' Rallye

[Atterz]

Right its time for an update on this and if i remember ill grab a couple more pictures tomorrow.

So having returned from Canada the car required is annual MOT, and i knew that id run into a few issues.. She ended up having all 4 brake lines replaced, the ABS was reinstated with the changing of the O/S sensor that had become damaged somehow!? And finally the beam was changed for a fully rebuilt 23mm/30mm TB/ARB combo as the old beam was shot and the end plates of the ARB had become completely snapped away from the arms with no real way to extract the stud/make good the threads in the trailing arm. So the beam swap came a little sooner than planned.

After that minor episode i spent the time titivating as shown in the pictures, a bit of paint in the engine bay and also on the calipers (gone for black this time, time to make it a little more low key), and i think its time to remove the yellow writing from the wheels, a job for later in the month i think! I also sorted the front brakes which were both binding and after bending a slider pin extracting it from the carrier it was clear why the brakes were nowhere near the standard they used to me!

Ive also stripped the rear interior completely from the car and hopefully will get some paint down before FCS, although not massively on the priority list! Its definitely time to enjoy the car and get some track time in!

Anyway, here is a couple of shots of her :-
