With the annual rally fast approaching I thought it was time to complete the last few jobs so the car is completely finish for the rally. Due to the issue with the overdrive I looked into it further and discovered that I had put the wrong grade of oil in the gearbox and overdrive. This was drained and refilled with the correct oil. I also stripped and cleaned the filter on the overdrive along with the solenoid and pressure relief valve. Since doing this the overdrive seems to be working much better but I won’t know for certain till I take it for a long drive (will know by the time I get to Prescott).
The other task I have been working on is refitting the wood frame into the boot that hides the spare wheel. Once this was done I cut some carpets to size to line the boot. All that is required is to have the edges of the carpets bound to finish it off. The final job of the day was to drop the car off at the trim shop so it can have the seats recovered. Next time I see the car the interior should be finished and it will be ready for Prescott.
