Wow, time really does get away on you. It feels like only a couple of weeks ago I was sitting in a restaurant having dinner with my now wife, talking about how I should start a website to put all the stuff I had been doing on cars, in one place. The wine was strong… A plan was hatched, and a name was settled on.
That was 10 years and about 7 days ago.
Since I’m still waiting on the block to return from machining (again), I moved on to fixing some other small issues.
Not to forget the rear of the car, I moved on to replacing the shocks there, too.
Following on from making the calipers all nice and shiny, the rest of the front suspension needed to be refreshed to bring it up to the same standard.
Moving on from the bodywork and engine for a bit, I thought I would have my first look at the brakes.
The big rebuild has kicked off, but it’s the kind of kicking that also includes screaming.
In my last update, I pulled the seats out, carpet up and fixed the rust in the floor/interior. Now it was time to put the carpet down, reinstall the seats and work on the rear rust.
Since the engine was in limbo, waiting on parts and machine work, I started to hunt to find all the rust and fix it.
Because the LEAF took over the daily run, I could finally do some dumb things to the Fit that I couldn’t do when I needed it as a daily.
After the huge disappointment that was the first track outing, I made some changes and gave it another go.
