Finally some nice weather, so I spent the weekend in the bat cave ( literally )
Engine is now out of the V1, ready to be stripped down and rebuilt to go into the R. The engine out of the yellow peril is ready to come out and go straight into the v1, then shes done. Once there both gone, R1GNO can be moved into the bat cave, and finally make some progress. Bargain of this week....P1 Spot covers and lights for £50!

Not bad for a free old heavy duty pool liner. Was 31 ft by 31 ft
 R1GNO guts, all over the floor...

Engine lifted out of the yellow peril today, and into the V1. Ran out of day light but just enough time to turn the key. Engine turns and fires up! Success!
Lining up the engine with the gearbox is a **** on you own!

With HiHo Silver eating all my project time ( and the landy...) R1NGO hasn't had much love lately.
But with a chance look at JPP webby, they had a set of V4 Clocks with the Loom still attached! Where slightly expensive, but the chances of finding the DCCD loom I needed were next to nothing. And if your going to rebuild something, may as well do it properly.  So I started to re-attach the plugs for the DCCD ECU ( got these a while ago, again by chance ) Now a nice yellow plug, where a gaping hole was before And to correct my slight fcuk up with the clocks, Ive now a V4 set, rather than a V5 set. ( V5 now sold though, made back what I paid for them )

Started to refit the interior, to make sure nothing is missing. Also did a test of the electrics, everything works as it should! Decided to take the flocked dash out, and fit a proper JDM style one, ie no passenger airbag. Now that HiHo is done, I can get cracking on with this.

Wow!
It went up North to York when I sold it in 2005, but I never realised that it came back down South again. I did prefer it when the wheels were black chrome though. I have never thought the gold and silver went together.   It's not until now that I realise that I kind off did the same again on the current toy.

Does it still have the original ignition barrel?
It used to let you take the key out, with the engine running. I have an embarrassing video somewhere when the fell to the floor mid corner at Silverstone and I got serious lift off oversteer and span.

Finally got my arse into gear and re-started working on R1GNO. The CDB is now almost stripped down, all that's left to do is split the block. Inspect the damage on the spun bearing then go from there.
Strangely there wasn't any debris in the sump, or on the pick up, and the piston bores look fine.

Took the pond liner roof off the bat cave, as it was leaking....
I was also worried about its weight, so the guy who built the frame, came back and put a proper roof on for me, and made it stronger as well. Just before new roof, everything stripped off that I'd just chucked up. Just before being felted. Its nice and dry now though, can lidt the R right up and finish the underside.

Sadly not yet. The Bug decided death by fire was a good idea on the way home from a MOT, caught it just in time. Off the road for ages to replace the entire PS system. Then the wife takes it out, and some old farts decides he dosnt like the front end.... Once the Bug is sorted, its go go go with R1NGO ( maybe )
