Thought it was about time I started the journal on the new venture – Rhubarb
Purchased from Knights Garage in Thame, Russ is a seriously nice bloke who knows his coupes. His is a track destroyer!
The details:
Seats
The seat bolsters were pretty worn when I received her – the seats always get scuffed up here. No problem, Scuffmaster will sort that problem out!!

After
I also fitted @southernboy’s seat lift mod. I was pleasantly surprised by the difference it has made given the small lift produced by the kit.
Engine Bay
I’m a sucker for a clean engine bay. The bay on this car definitely needed some attention to get it up to the standard of the rest of the car
It seemed to be caked in a waxy substance (and Stacey’s is the same) which took some considerable work to get off, using a combination of Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner, some scraping tools and some elbow grease
Half n half
Fully clean
The final piece of the puzzle was to fit a new rocker cover and plenum, freshly returned courtesy of @Aceman. This is a seriously nice piece of work that he’s turning out
Always nice to check the condition under the rocker cover. All good here:
And finally fitted:
