Ginetta G26 and other saloons
Discussion
Hi all, the Desert Camouflage spec paint job G26 is nearly with me and dangerously close to MOT time. just having to remove the power steering and go back to manual for ease (will look later on in the future at recommissioning the power rack)
Maybe, just maybe this will go to LeMans after all! (Probably not....)
Heres some photos from the crazy hot bank holiday weekend, nice to see it in full in the sun, really shows the lights and arches

nope failed as planned. it went to see what it would fail on, something's where known so where expected which didn't turn out to be a problem and some unknowns where found. fix within 10days for a retest so all being well it'll be on the road soon.
drive to station apparently showed engine still good and strong, nice noise and ran below mid temp reading so all good.
looks like I'll get it back a week or two before attempting Lemans in it after it's not been used for two years haha.
not long now! nice to here from someone else, do post a pic or two!!
cheers Chris

dear God what a mess this body work is in. no wonder the guy quoted 3k and not warranted to do it. painted the rear panel in black from 20mtrs away it looks ok.....
new plan is smooth out all the filler I've put in tidy other areas and rattle can it yellow hopefully next week before Lemans so it's all at least one colour.

we made it! Lemans dragged it's arse everywhere catching the road
even got completely stuck on the train where we had to lift it up and over the joins!
no oil or water usage and drove it like a modern car 80 all the way only stopping for fuel.
and then back again! No major issues, looking at painting in September, then next year I would hope to have a 2.0L zetec in, silver or black top I dont mind which (both will be a massive power improvement), sierra dash arriving today which I will get flocked first, looking for a bigger sunroof (205gti one looking a possibility (needs to run outside of car due to metal cross bar) and new rear shocks and springs. Finish all that off with a new interior and it should be a pretty nice (but still ugly) car!
