Old engine mount had a stripped thread, managed to pick up a second hand one for very little that had been recently blasted and got a good painter mate to do it in Hyacinth red mainly in order to protect the cast Aluminium from oxidising on the surface. Since it had been blasted it did have a pitted surface on it so it wasn't smooth but meh

Personally buzzing that I managed to get it in without any assistance for somebody who's not incredibly experienced

Will be getting a few other bits done the same colour in order to make it look less odd and stand out less but Rome wasn't built in a day!

December 2020 update!

Car’s on nearly 216k and still running fine. Not really done much with it except use it but have some bits lined up!

Sent some secondhand brake callipers off to a company called Bigg Red since my old ones were sticking and what I got back off Bigg Red was fantastic. Would definitely recommend the company to anybody as the turn around time was rapid (pre virus) and the communication was excellent. Can’t fault them except having to pay a fair bit extra for them to be red but meh😂

Still love the car but just want a little more excitement and saw this Raceland 4-2-1 manifold for sale for not too much. I understand this won’t fit directly to the factory centre pipe and it does need welding but I’m in no rush to sort it at the moment

Looking good

Another vote for Big Red - I have only used them for brake components, fast delivery and they tend to be great value too.

Cheers! Seriously excellent company to deal with, like I can’t rave about them enough
