Once this passed the MOT, I basically just drove it and enjoyed it. The insurance ran out in November so it has been off the road since then, insurance will be renewed in about 3 weeks as I'm hoping to get both my cars on one policy if possible.
While it has been off the road I swapped engine looms to see if I could fix the rev counter. The good news is I swapped looms and it fired up right away, the bad news is that it made no difference.
I also painted the manifold and throttle body silver, and the fuel rail red and refitted those, and removed the slam panel and repainted that black so it's looking nice and fresh, along with painting the tow hook yellow as that was previously horrible and crusty. No pictures unfortunately s my phone has totally died.
The car unfortunately now needs welding on the other side to the one which was patched a few months ago. I've been gradually teaching myself to mig weld so hopefully once the weather gets drier I'll be rectifying this side and also probably taking the skirts off to see what else may need doing.
Really looking forward to another Pugfest and hopefully some great spring time driving.
