So today I was getting on with cleaning and heat taping my fuel tank and getting the hubs ready to go on the car

As previous, brand new Delphi ball joints and FAG bearings. Need to find out what the 1800 FAG points we have gets us.

Meanwhile Gerry was setting about the wiring harness.

Not a bad weight saving

The original car loom weighed in at 12.1kg not including door looms.

Cleaning up the last few engine bits, starting with the heat shields

Bolted back in to the bay

The fun part will be keeping it this clean all season

Better wheel gap lifted on a ramp than most R56s leave the factory with

Got the trims back on now the windows are in

Then got started building the engines up

Engine mounts and ancillaries needed a bit of a freshen up

Poly bushed gearbox mount

“Do you see anything wrong here Ted…? We got no engines do we?!”

Oh, never mind Ted

Getting the window trim retaining clips on and fitting the arches

The glass is now back in Sara, Selene’s going in tomorrow (our glass man had to leave to go take the windows out Aiden Moffat’s BTCC car after his shunt at Thruxton)
