Thought I would share some of my progress with getting the Cerb ready to come out and play.

Some of you may remember I cracked a cam cover last year and was looking for a replacement to get me running for a charity event. A spare couldn't be located quickly so the chemical metal came out as a temporary fix. Unfortunately it was more temporary than I had hoped. It slowed the tide but I still had a V full of oil. That was followed shortly by a fuel leak and the car has been off the road ever since.

A friend was able to get the cam covers scanned for cracks and the cracks welded up. So new powder coat time. I got them back last week and they went on at the weekend.



And a close up to show the sparkle...



So just the fuel leak to fix, gearbox to replace, alternator belt to change and inlet O-rings to change...

Exactly where I am right now, for replacing the starter (unnecessarily!). laugh
