This winter's plans
Discussion
Hi All
I suspect most UK/European Ultimas are either ensconced in their winter home or are about to be tucked up.
So what little plans have you got for 'mods', 'repairs' or 'upgrades'?
My SPA dash has to come out and go for a repair as it has a glitch at above XXX mph.
Today I resumed work on my second (and interchangeable) front clip. I made a start last winter - or the one before, can't remember - on modifying the original so that it would fit on the current hinges and work with the existing chassis mounted splitter.
Fitted the new light pods (old one's were damaged) and started the sanding down.
I will be doing everything myself including the painting, so you can all laugh at the results next year at the Silverstone Classic!

Gearbox refresh, replace all bushes and rose joints, further simplification of the fuel system, zircotec the exhaust, replace the induction, new splitter and potentially a dash update.
All in an 8 x 15 garage lol.
Rear clam in the lounge, front clam, splitter, exhaust, wheels and wing in the 3rd, all the other bits in the 4th
I take it you are in the 2nd, having been kicked out of the 1st for having all that stuff in the house All in an 8 x 15 garage lol.

Glad to see I'm not alone with the winter projects!
Had a decent day.
Glassed in the light holders so they are fixed.
Then spent the rest of the day sanding......and sanding.......and sanding to prep the gel coat for paint.
Some cracking to grind back and fill with gel. A few areas need ultra fine filler where I have used glass fibre to get the revised hinges to fit - so, more sanding to come.
Have another couple of things I am planning, but you will have to wait to see what they are.

What's the point in making all that money fixing other people's cars if you can't drive your own.......
