Having been bitten hard by the rally bug at last years Rally of the Tests, I have been planning which events I would like to do this year.

The plan has been for Shivs and I to take part and, with that in mind, I've entered the Three Castles Rally in Wales in May.    And May is not far away and the car has not had any of the repairs it needs...

So I made a start on one of the main problems over the weekend and removed the radiator which had become rather too friendly with the fan, with dramatic consequences.   The repair - effected with the help of the amazing Tony - comprises plastic padding and RadWeld.   Amazingly it worked

The offending parts:

The list of other repairs is very long - it was prepared in detail on completion of the rally in order to be really well prepared for this one.

If only I could find the damn thing.
