Tailshaft is back out at SW Motorsport getting new unis and balancing. That happened Thursday when I emerged from the Slowlearner bunker to forage for food. Man, this having kids home from school business is hard on the fridge and the wallet!   Across the weekend, I've actually got quite a lot of stuff done.       Much of the garage is actually usable now. I rearranged a few shelves, unpacked some boxes and generally made the place easier to use. There has been more progress on the car too.   This innocuous looking belhousing cover was beyond filthy and didn't fit. Two new holes, a slight bend and a coat paint has it looking sexy where no one will ever see it... unless I get very airborne, very slowly. 😄     All the steering linkages are now back on the car. I'll do a quick and dirty alignment at some stage before I drive it.     The starter is also back in and working again.     Took me way to many goes to get this in. Of course one of the stock bolts was too short (2 tries). Found a bolt that worked (3rd try). Then realized the negative strap for the battery needed to go under the top bolt (last try). derp 🤪   For my next adventure, I get to unearth the diff. Literally.
