I asked Dave from Premier Paint Guard to install a protective covering on my rear wings (and he now has a template for the 160).

As soon as that was completed Rob and Sally J came over to help trailer the car to Crawley for the PBC.

Unfortunately the car had to go off with one or two issues (it won't start due to some unknown electrical fault and a problem with the brakes but other than that perfect *whistle* ).

I have asked Caterham to get it through the IVA. I really look forward to getting it back!

The car's looking good simon, It will be interesting to see if we have the same start problem's, I'll be calling premier Paint when I have the car back.It looks like he's local to me which should make things nice and easy to sort out.

Thanks Mike,

You can try installing the plastic film yourself, or pay Dave to do it. However, I didn't have the option as, until yesterday, he didn't have a template for the 160 wings.

Congratulations, Simon!

I'm struggling a bit in the engine bay at the moment. Did you find that the Assembly Guide mentions things that a) you can't find and b) are actually already attached to the engine?

They could save us a lot of time-wasting if they gave a really detailed graphic of the engine, labelled!

Er yes, some educated guesswork went on (and phone calls to Derek). I remember discovering a big shiny pipe after putting the engine in; this was a water pipe that was a late delivery. Thankfully I could slide it in just.

Martin took some good engine bay shots which I uploaded here

good luck, Simon
