A few hickups

Been having a few problems recently, but luckily they all now seem to be sorted.  First of all was the Megasquirt - I started tuning it (or trying). It started misfiring badly, then eventually stopped sparking. I tried changing the coil, plugs and leads, but no good.  After trying all sorts, it turns out there was a bit missing out the ecu itself, so it was burning out the coil driver.  :(

It went back to get the new chip installed and whatever it was thats missing, so should be in the post back as I type.

Next up a big blister and a few smaller ones appeared in the bonnet, which was a bit of a pain as i'd already trimmed it and put the stripes etc on. On the positive side Andy at Saturn sorted me out with a nice new one in the new shape! :)

Looks much nicer, and i've ordered some new stripes which are slightly wider than the originals, so should look ace.

Finally I've finished welding and painting the roll bar, so that's back on now too.

So here's how it looks with the new bonnet with no stripes and the finished roll bar...
