Dude! modified nationals is only about 63 days away. seriosuly man i need at least one other dub to be on the stand with............

[olstar]

right, major update time!

disco stu rang me and said he was coming round with a grinder, welder, tools and buzzer

i went to fetch him and we all piled up to my house to attack the caddy!!



i didnt get many progress pics, as we were all cracking on, but buzzer and stu managed to fit my exhaust, fuel tank, new pump etc...

AND SHE STARTED UP!!

Ok, not first time, but second!

And after not being run for years i was just astonished!

if you look at the vid you can see the pipe going into that petrol can cos at that time we haddnt got it plumbed into the tank and excuse the wires we are still needing to tidy all that up ad wire the relay in..

BUT IT WORKS!!! ARGG!!!

i need a few things now but not many, then tax, insurance.. and NATIONALS!!

woo!



A BIG thanks to buzzer, and disco stu for being total scrapheap challenge legends!!!

I was sooo sooo happy when i had the phonecall saying it was alive

This is a true project with a massive history more than anyone else (ok maybe newth or clare)

100% so so happy that this car will be on the stand at Nationals!

Well done olly! (and Stu and Buzzer )
