Mornin Stu :wave:

Hoping it will get warm enough to work on the car. Cleared out all the crud from brake line coil, ready for a coating of paint and new fittings.

3 years ago today i bought the Camaro, so happy birthday to it and all that. Wonder if i should do a legacy round trip to Market Harborough (where it used to live) - oh wait, the Camaro is still not done :thumbdown:

Funnily enough the video i took of it that day on the driveway had the exact same flutterly snow that we have today :think:

Lol, i think originally i said i would work on it for 3 months, just a quick do-over on the interior :wtf: :lol: :lol: i must have meant years :think:

Thanks for the encouragement Nige :thumbup: , i'm already happier knowing a lot has been done that otherwise would have been niggling away / not come up until it got way worse etc. Thanks for all the help along the journey, will be a good day when it gets the MOT certificate :)

Ye, can't believe myself that it's been so long. When i think back at what i've done, doesn't seem like i've achieved close to that much. I think because this is my first full re-build a lot of stuff is being done more than once i.e being redone to a higher standard as i learn more. Part of the reasoning of the project was to learn, so i didn't expect things to go great first time around. A lot of stuff i was happy with originally, i've since looked back on and redone. Probably being exposed to other projects, parts etc has given light to many thing that i thought were ok. In other words the list got longer :) I've definitely learned the "do it right first time" thing :lol:

Now that the weather is starting to warm up / brighten up i can be out in the garage more, especially in the evenings. Probably about 80% there now, just gotta give the project the final push now to have it ready for this spring. Hopefully can pick up a few things at Essex next Sunday as that will help too.
