Big Car is back from Keith Gott’s and is running!

She needed a set of new pistons, tappets and push rods, as well as a couple of exhaust valves, lots of gaskets and 16 hours of labour!
Keith Gott have given us a list of jobs that need doing to get Big Car ready for the MOT:

Stop the fuel tank leaking - Alice and I took a look at this today and we can see where it’s leaking from, so we’re going to scrub it clean and keep an eye on it;

Connect the speedo cable - we reconnected this today, but we’re not sure if it’s clipped
on properly ;

Adjust the hand brake - we got this done today;

Investigate the slight play in the off-side swivel joint - hopefully this is not bad enough to fail the MOT;

Replace a missing circlip on the off side front wheel - I’m gonna order one of these this week;

Reattach the front wings - Jono got this done last week;

Fix the wiring to the lights, indicators and windscreen wipers - this was all working before but a connection must have come loose;

Put some seats and a battery cover in - Alice is going to take a look at her local scrappys for these bits;

Reattach the passenger seat belt - Alice got this done today;

Clamp the battery down - we need to work out how’s best to do this.

Alice and I are going to have another go at Big Car on Saturday the 24th of Novemeber, if anybody would like to join us.

Take care, Bob.
