Right, today was a pretty momentous occasion. 3 months ago (calendar, not days) i rolled the car into the garage, and today it left. But rather than pushing it out i drove it out under its own power.
First of all i had to put the rad in, and get it all wired up, which was pretty much a walk in the park.

The rad only just clears the engine, and im hoping that the 2JZ doesnt encroach any more on the rad, as its already quite close:

After doing that and bleeding the clutch, and putting the wheels on it was a nice walk in the park to drive it out of the garage.

After that i gave it a quick drive down the road, and turned it around to pop it onto the lawn and give it as wash and i was quite surprised that it was in a lot better condition than i had first feared:

But there are still some niggling little problems. Firstly im running slightly too much castor:

Clears the front guard there by only a handful of millimeters there, so ill have to wind it out a bit again.
Secondly the interior needed a handful of refitting, which i spent an hour or so doing tonight.
Thats about it for now. Its now time to start getting ready to take it over the pits at regency, tidying up little things so i can make it presentable for that.
Really really happy that its out of the garage again in only 3 months.
