So I finally got mine on some ramps and in addition to the front brakes it needs a new rear pinion seal, front and rear crank seals and has a small leak from the water pump as well as maybe a clutch release bearing , all in all not too bad for a 17year old car that has doubtless spent a lot of its life near the redline, it's all being done by a friend as my health forbids me from working on cars any more so happy days, plenty of track days for next year and the off to the "Ring" :lol: anybody else fancy it? Probably go to spa in the same journey

Sounds like fun... I thought the oil seals leaking got solved on the LS engines, early Chevy's are a bit prone..

I'm often doing track days, so I'll post any I'm intending one doing as usual if you fancy any too.. I would love to go the 'Ring, but been put off by the cost and the fact it's full of Clarkson wannabes now apparently.
Spa is fantastic, only 4 hours (ish) from Calais, and a brilliant track, shame I spent a very wet day there about 5 years ago.. :(

That would be awesome stu, I'm not a track day type person usually and prefer the drag strip but whereas in the 80's knowledge and determination were needed to go fast now it's just a case of money, plenty of people prepared to spend a lot on a fast car and I witnessed a new skyline last time that looked stock and ran 9's , it's more a bucket list pilgrimage thing going to the ring for me. Mine has the LT1 in
