Snowball Run

Back a week now, waiting for laddo to download some GoPro footage.

Thankfully, no breakdown woes for us. Just got in and drove. 1700 miles, 23mpg (340 litres E10 shite - too mean to buy expensive stuff, and it went fine), 1.5 litres oil and more fun/adrenalin than 2 boys should be allowed :lol:

Some clips if you want a look (not the best quality, white balance on GoPro, scratch creating a flare etc. :roll: )

Looked great Ian but your steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side.

Loads of 'stuff'.......

Fitted rear Bilsteins, set spring plate angles, fitted throttle rod and clutch cable down the tunnel, fished out the dead mouse down there, adjusted handbrake mechanisms and cables, bled brakes, it just goes on!

Started looking at the carpet fitment, I have bought a set from Gary Hall(on here) Salt and pepper, which should compliment the conda green v. nicely. Carpets look really well made, good work Gary.

Hoping to have it on the road in a few weeks, for the first time since I bought the 'project' from very porky! Looking forward to that soooooooooooooooo much.
