Starting day!
10 minutes to the start!
The car is packed, we slept under a tree last night in battersea park already, and have made some good friends already. Let's hope the loop of London does t take too long and we can get to the continent soon.
Here we go!
London! Check!
We made it to London! And the car is still running!
Now to drink many beer and make friends!
Car is running great, but fuel pump relays are hot as . Hmmm
Tmrw the start!
Made it to London
Finally made it to London from Sudbury! However we are now stuck in a boat load of traffic! Luckily we are looking at the London eye :)
Parts for the Zook
Happy to announce that BLG Racing has provided us with some new rear struts, 2x20L jerry cans and some wonderful advice.
Along with a replaced horn, repaired and replaced stereo head unit, and windshield sprayers that now are like super-soakers, we are slowly getting there.
T-minus 2 days to leaving for London.
Tomorrow we install the struts, do a little more running around...but all in all we are looking like we are in good shape.
Gearing up in Suffolk
So... the car runs, but has more rust than anything.
Even the front tow-point has been ripped out from its mounting due to rust corrosion.
Suspension is soft and saggy all around but our tires are good.
Its got no stereo, or horn (which we need to fix), but the lights work and it shifts okay. Despite it looking quite good with decals and all, it is actually pretty terrible.
TO DO:
-buy some more gear
-replace struts
-replace springs
-bleed brakes
-coolant change
-need battery
-food and water to buy
Pierce leaves Vancouver!
Pierce is departing Vancouver today and going to meet Jacob in London.
Finally some movement after all these months of preparation!
