I have a working clutch!!!

A HUGE thanks goes out to Grant and Niall for doing the work, Tom for sending me the clutch at the cost of postage, and Mr Rowell for bringing sausages....albeit a bit late.

Anyway, Grant and Niall did a fantastic job, and as always when working on these poxy french motors, they encountered a few problems, but it all came right in the end. The old shagged clutch looked like this when it came out:

Grant also donated a ph3 bumper to me, so that also got fitted while i was there:

I will be spraying the bump strip gloss black to tie in with the theme im going for, and i need to do a little repair to the bottom lip as theres a fair sized crack in it. Shouldnt be too difficult to sort though.

The rear beam didnt end up getting done though, as the weather wasnt on our side today, but more to the point, the bottles of rum that me, Grant and Fooby polished off last night had left me and Fooby in no state to be doing anything apart from feeling rough. The beam wasnt the important bit though, so we will probably end up doing that in a few weeks time maybe, depending on when's good for all involved.

All in all, an epic weekend was had, and im feeling the love for this car coming back...next job on the list is brakes though....front pads are a little low, got maybe 1mm left before it becomes metal on metal. Might have to give it a clean too at some point. And get some tyres for at least one set of my other wheels so i can get shot of the Harriers at long last!

So yeah, once again, thanks to Grant, Niall, Tom, Sam, Fooby, and a little nod to Connor as well for offering to send me a set of handbrake cables for the beam....no longer required though as ill be paid before the beam goes on. Thanks to all of you guys, if it hadn't been for everyones generosity, the car would be off the road now pending a whole heap of work. Seriously cannot thank you all enough, especially Grant and Niall for donating a load of parts and labour, as well as putting me up for the night, feeding me, and plying me with alcohol.

Oh, and Niall should hopefully have a time-lapse video from the GoPro to upload soon as well, looking forward to seeing that!
