So collected Bogey this Monday from Glasgow. Was a 250 mile road trup to collect it. As was well. Only problem is high revs on idle. So the plan is to get cracking with swapping my parts over from the blue TF then flog it and keep the green one.

So heres some pics of where it all starts. Watch this space. I will be busy on Saturday.



This is a pic when I was on the way home from the services:

And some of the interior:




The 04 blue TF and Bogey having a party:


A running cost spreadsheet will be updated too so that when it looks good I can put a cost to it and help towards the agreed insurance valuation:

Houston we have a problem.. . Steam in the engine bay when I parked up, a quarter of the expansion tank had gone. Went under the car and dripping water. Topped up and left for 10 mins then limped home. Will check it out on the ramps at the weekend. For now the blue TF will be coming out to play again

Thinking split hose or inlet manifold. There is a BRAND NEW gasket in the boot maybe the previous owner knew about it? Either way I'll fix or will get it sorted with my car cover

Had a brief message with Russell and he might be able to sort it when I know what's up.

Oh man! Hope it's something simple like a split hose!

Thats it...

When the leak is sorted I might pay for the cambelt and waterpump doing just for peace of mind.

Have you got incredibly fat fingers ben? April 2013 passed MOT?
Could have at least put the receipts in order

I've got weedy fingers from being a office nerd

thank you ben - much better
Ive got a bunch of receipts for a lot of work done on Phoenix prior to my ownership - at least 4 years worth that mum owned her... If i get bored, i might sit and type them all up on here hahahaha

Bogey has had some exhaust attacking today the old one is now off those cat nuts were a hard job 30mins of angle grinder followed by 1.5 hrs of attacking the gasket with variety of screw drivers chisels and blow lamp my hands are killing.

Then swapped hoods that took ages as had to put both back on 3hrs grrr. Then called it a day more will continue soon

Todays tinkering... Interior swap, carbon door caps, fog light taken out of the blue TF. All stainless bolts off the blue one onto the green one. Found some dodgy wiring in the cockpit though

i started at 9 am and finished at 5 when i changed my back box,,, yes only the back box he he he

was it easy changing your lightd out in dash?
have to say looking fantastic m8 hope to see it soon

When its had its brakes swapped and power then I'll pop round. I'm tinkering on Sunday so hopefully it will all be done by then
