    The 86 God's giveth and they taketh away... 
    So the issue of the power steering was solved by simply finding the missing ECU and reconnecting everything. As to why it was removed in the 1st place? F**k knows... 
    The car was taken from Carson Performance earlier in the week for it to be sent off for tuning. Unfortunately we've run into yet another issue where Nev didn't think to put any oil into the diff once he'd changed it to the Kaaz 1.5way that I supplied. So the on-road tuning came to an abrupt end with the diff locking up at 60mph. Luckily no damage or injuries to the people involved but it looks like the best part of a grand has gone up in smoke. 
    We've also uncovered a few more niggling issues which need to be sorted for reliability down the line. Nothing major, but the list looks to be a multitude of 30min jobs here and there. 
    So although she's taxed, MOT'd and insured, she's not ready for the open road just yet.

    Car was picked up today and taken for it's first ever MOT. Only 3 years late! 
    The all important PASS was issued, car now taxed and pretty much ready for the road
    Off to have the mapping tweaked over the next few days and then it'll be back to finish off little bits like interior, undertrays and a well needed deep clean! 
    Bodyshop has been put on hold until we sort the bonnet out.

    Been a busy few weeks with fine tuning and tweaking the map, along with getting ready for her 1st ever MOT! 
    As you can imagine, I've got parts in various locations at a result of this lengthy build, so I'm missing basic things like seatbelts and side indicators 🤦‍♂️ but should all be sorted in time for Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

    Nev is only good for parts. And even then it's touch and go... He's lost all motivation to actually do projects, he wants to be a retailer as there's less work involved 
    Lovely little update today from Simon at Carson Performance, managed to sort the clutch issue so SHE MOVES! For the 1st time in over 3 years it is moving under it's own power! 
    Just a couple of small bits to attend to and then it's off to the bodyshop on 12th April in preparation for it's first show since 2015!
