Managed to get out for a couple of hours this morning with John and “Lizzy”

Decided to get rid of the race/advert decals, fit an aero screen, new grille, nose cone detail and stripe. I've got a carbon fibre boot on the way, then it's a carbon tunnel cover and new seats.

Measure once, drill four times

Shouldn't you be busy reversing something into a wall....? 🤡

Depends if you ferry or tunnel Andy, but (very) late Sunday night if you get the tunnel and don’t break down.

Says the man with green crisp packets stuck in his front suspension 🤡

I'd swap out the amber indicator lens for another clear one, or vice-versa.....

Well I really like the circuit and it’s not a million miles away - so I think it’s a distinct possibility.

What an epic Westfield, and only 1000 miles on her! Someone’s getting a bargain Good luck with the Sal Dean Andy

After what seems like an eternity I have my registration documents today, number plates are on order for fitting tomorrow. The car was finished in May but due to COVID the IVA was at the end of Oct. Really looking forward to driving on my north Wales roads but it’s just a shame I have missed out on the Summer. I lot lots of new bits still to fit post IVA including my SBFS half hood, carbon exhaust, momo steering wheel with QR, carbon diffuser and stone guards, protechs and widetrack front suspension. This will keep me busy when it rains. Looking forward now to joint some boats.

Gone clear now

Dust, dust, purple dust everywhere!

A few have hinted of delays on wheels etc. I've just seen this- https://www.rimstock.com/ COMPANY UPDATE First of all, we would like to thank our customers for your continued support in these difficult times. Currently we have started to make a gradual and phased return to work serving our key customers with high volume forged wheels. However, demand remains supressed and we are hoping to make a full return in the coming months as demand picks up in key customers and markets. However, due to the current business conditions we are operating in, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to make a number of difficult decisions regarding our product offering in the short term. We have made the very difficult decision that the low pressure aluminium casting foundry based in the UK will not be reopening, and it is with deep regret and sadness this has resulted in a number of redundancies across the business. Cast wheels will still be manufactured and supplied but the process has had to be restructured with the relocation of casting at an alternative location. This means the renowned Pro Race range will be in short supply for remainder of 2020 but the positive news it will be back in the later months of the year and early 2021 along with other cast products. We are also hoping to release new designs next year on cast and forge Pro-Race wheels. We apologise for any short-term inconvenience and our thoughts are with the loyal and dedicated staff who have been affected by this decision. We hope everyone is safe and healthy and we thank you again for your continued support. ------- Headquartered at the centre of the UK’s automotive industry, Rimstock design, manufacture, and supply alloy wheels, worldwide, to more than 40 countries, and is Britain’s leading prestige wheel manufacturer.

Forged alloy wheels offer OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) more complex designs - stronger yet lighter - and the result - Forged wheels being considerably lighter than Cast wheels - significantly improves vehicle breaking, handling and fuel economy. Continued investment in innovative processes represents the futureproofing of Rimstock’s business and the evolution of alloy wheel manufacturing.

I accidentally found this ad on racecarsdirect, seems to be good price: https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/117010/ttv-racing-ford-pinto-engine-flywheel

Another British manufacturer lost to foreign soil.

Another great British business that's been hit hard by Covid. I see that Matt Neal is no longer directly involved (stepped down as a director in 2019) - just a "brand ambassador" now. I also didn't realise the company was owned by Saudis - perhaps that explains why they can't spell "braking".... Regardless, it means that the ubiquitous ProRace wheels found on so many Westies will now be in rather greater demand secondhand

Lolly sticks is what I used😀

Hi, My car was raced by Tony Michael and more recently by Alan Hamilton regularly at Castle Combe. Alan didn't pass much detail on the spec as the car was built by Tony. Is Tony on here, or does anyone know him or the car, I'd like to know as much about the spec, gear ratios, engine build spec (Anderson Racing 20xe all steel dry sump), CW and pinion ratio etc? Thanks Mark
