Good work Karl

Is it me, or is that fuel line rather close to the exhaust?

Regards,

Not just you,-I thought exactly the same whilst in the pit under it giving the exhaust a helping hand off with the grinder!

Long overdue update, been busy lately, new job no time etc however got cracking on the 11 as MOT up in a few weeks and rear brakes need attention. One side the shoes have fallen to bits and the cylinders have certainly seen better days!

[Mr Raider]

Managed to source a new brake kit containing cylinders, shoes and mechanism aswell as fitting kit. The offside wheel cylinder didnt want to undo from the brakepipe so that was removed and a new section made up.

Gave the back plates a clean up and paint then re-fitted everything.

Also, drained all the old brake fluid out and replaced it with new genuine fluid that my mate 'found' at work lol.

Top job

So, abit of an update after busy few months and getting round to giving the 11 some overdue love. Managed to get her through the MOT at the end of October after doing the rear brakes, I then had to re-home the 11 at my mates house as its previous residence has just been sold, this has meant I havent been able to get round to it as much as I would have liked with work & the other usual commitments.

Stu told me a few weeks ago he went to start it and nothing, after a few checks it was the starter motor that had been abit noisy ever since I got the car had finally given up the ghost! £29.00 later the new starter arrived and was fitted to replace the old one and she fired into life

So unfortunately thats the end of the road with me anyways for the phase 1 11 turbo, sold to Prab from Orpington yesterday as just wasnt getting the time/use it deserved. It was a great car and really enjoyed owning and replacing many parts to get it sorted.

Look after her mate .
