You steward Lee!
Paul... just because we like cars from the 80's and 90's shouldn't mean we have to use ALL technology from that era! It's now our aim to just post in images only and no text!

I took the crank to be reground but it was way past the grinding stage so I'm waiting to see if they can find me a replacement. At least it's given me the excuse check the valves on the other head and lap if necessary. Hopefully I'll be back on a track soon (as long as I don't tell the missus where I'm going!) |

By the way, Mr. Cridland I am only on dial-up as I live in the only village in Sussex that has no broadband! And we've been told we're not going to get it till 2011
Good luck with the car Lee. _________________ Owner's Club 33 Registrar. Now from P4 & S2 1.7 QV

No, we seem to be in a bit of a blackspot here. Just going through that possibility with some info Bobbber's sent from 3G with no luck. Will try some others. _________________ Owner's Club 33 Registrar. Now from P4 & S2 1.7 QV

Hi chaps,
Can't believe Spa was 6 weeks ago where does the time go?
Anyhow, I now have a roadworthy 33 again I wont go into cost (even though I did all the work myself!) as you'll all think I'm mad but the bottom end has been rebuilt with thanks to Paul for sourcing me a crank.
Not a bad job to do really. If I add up the time we were actually working on the car (did the job with the great help of my dad) it's not that long. 1 day to remove engine and strip out the crank, 1 day to clean up all the bits and remove all the old bearing shell swarf , 1 day to rebuild the engine and 2 days to stick it back in and connect it all up! The numpty award goes to me for connecting the HT leads up the wrong way (tired!) but as soon as we realised she started up first time.......wahoo!!
Now where's the nearest track |

It would take the whole pallet to do my missus!!
I'm really dead if she ever reads this!!
Thanks chaps for the replies, It's good to be back in the fold |

Well I'm guessing if she reads it, either you'll be under a slab of pallets yourself or single and free to go to Spa next year!!! _________________ Owner's Club 33 Registrar. Now from P4 & S2 1.7 QV

Paul,
You missed out the obvious one which would still stop Lee going to SPA next year... torture for eternity!

I think next year we should "borrow" a small car transporter. Even if it only takes one car, it would be a good insurance plan?!?

I like the thinking behind that idea Bob.
Shame you didn't come up with that plan before we went this year |
