What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
Nothing !!
Well technically today rather than yesterday, but the car has just been collected after a 2 year body off refurb for its MOT and check over
Just need to wait now for the inevitable phone call... 'Well sir, this is broken, thats on backwards, this went out of production 10 years ago, I don't even know what vehicle this part is from' etc etc.
Strange seeing the garage like this now.

Making progress slowly. Felt good taking all that masking off and seeing the results. Still a ways to go yet but I'm in now hurry.
And thanks to the folks at furniture clinic for their advice when you're fine tuning matching shades of black. Mix a little of the black dye in with the satin finish really helps even the colours out

Pushed the button this morning - still need to sort MAP corrections etc but idled happily with sensible readings up to stat opening and fans cutting in; no leaks or ominous noises etc so happy bunny
Nice to hear the old girl run again for the first time since April; maybe a teeny bit less loud but still very TVR sounding
So weakest wastegate spring in the world installed and a (very) tentative trundle planned to log some data but not for a day or two as no time
Only problem apparent was the charge-cooler pump circuit zeroing the charge-cooler temperature gauges when running for some reason (suspect they share a switched +12v feed and the pump is hogging current).
Let the fun begin...
