How wide is it? You can borrow my trailer but it's not massive.

Ian - Do you find it is always pissing it down when you are trying to put a car on the trailer?

nearly everytime we do it it just starts pishing it down

Yes it is always the way even when you have been at a track all day and its been dry.
as soon as you need to pick up the ramps its wet and slippy and someone traps something under them

Nav by Dave Dave like that

My Plans : Strip interior, replace the seats/rear bench if neeeded.

Sort out the leaking glove box

Replace part of the bulk head and battery tray.
Sills need a closer look at along with the o/s rear arch
Also looking at replacing the front floor pans
Rip out and replace the whole braking system along with calipers, disks and pads.
Replace fuel lines
Engine needs somework as the co2 sensor has been played with, the thermo switch? may be playing up also, prob replace the injectors, then hopefully it will be running smooth

Body wise : Looking at sticking some 90' spec kit on, not going for the RST replica, well as it's not one

Project Thread will heopefully be up on the weekend at some point
