.Pleased to say that it went through it's MoT (just got back): no problems, and drove pretty nicely really. My oil-change-and-hope-for-the-best approach has been vindicated on the rear axle, and the gearbox is near silent and shifts perfectly with ace synchro's.
The only thing it did do was jump out of third when I gave it a bit more juice
. Would be a bit strange if there's wear there and nowhere else (on the gearbox). I think I'll lift the lid on the box and double check there's nothing simple before taking it all apart. Funnily enough, it was fine coming home, so I'll drive it as-is for a few days and see how it behaves.Otherwise it was all fine, and pulled much stronger than I remembered: and this is a new engine without the 'hot' bits fitted yet
.Anyway, couple of pics:
As you can imagine there's now a list of the initial shakedown jobs to work through (couple of hours worth). Hopefully will get the sideglass and Surrey top on over the weekend.
