Not much happening of late, as had family stuff going on, plus garage is too bloody dark by the time I'm home, that & being lazy

I managed to put up a couple of temporary lights today, seems like Crystal Palace, so no excuse for not getting down the garage after work.

Still waiting to hear from the council, guess there falt out over worked

Few pictures of the old girl looking sad, but will eventually turn round again

Took gearbox out today - Thanks for the hand Jerry

Tank removed for access to remove secondary fuel line, filters n stuff no longer needed, redundant wiring removed

Few bits ready for Powder Coating

I want to paint the front chassis work & bulkhead, plus need to do work to the motor so no big deal.

In fact motors sitting on engine stand waiting for me to put in the new Pistons, Rings, Cam, etc. But wont do that till in the new garage, except I will gap the rings next week.

Got all the bits for the motor, just want to do it in the right area, better conditions, no point building a fresh motor to leave it in dampish conditions

Gearbox out as Andy F offered to check box over for me & going to show me how to set up new converter for the different Stator, Turbine - Bit of training

Well, it's been a while since any updates, what with travels to China, Brazil & the garage taking me much longer than I anticipated.

That being said, garage is still not fully finished, but at least habitable. So on Monday, had the chance to move the Cuda to it's new home (Cheers for the hand Jerry)

Still working on the garage, mainly electrics, I went a bit mad with the sockets (39 Doubles

Regular 15 amp & high amp for welder, etc) all are wired in now, compressed air plumbed in, waiting for compressor to be returned from a mate, so hook up will have to wait.

Got about a 1/3 of the lights up, waiting for some more to come in, nil stock at the moment

With the Cuda in the garage, easy to get side tracked & the poor old girl looked a bit sad in her new home, but nothing a quick wash couldn't help sort out.

Cuda at Home

Also started to clear out the office of Cuda bits, was getting a bit swamped, so brought a few bits down the garage.

Intercooler inside car

Old v New Trans Cooler
Upgraded the Trans cooler, as old was a bit small & wouldn't handle the heat when turbos are loading converter. Company was recommended to me by Andy Frost, excellent quality, at a price

There the old Dash 6's lines in this photo, will be swapped for Dash 10's

Ice Box
I lagged this a few months back, now resting in place.

Wheels
As I had the camera, thought it would be shame not to try the new wheels

Superb Mark

Just 1 thing that could be a potential problem

........ get rid of the John Smiths for a bit of Stella Artois

Looking good....whens the barn dance?

Mark I hope you aren't using M.D.F on the walls!!
