It was a fair shunt, didnt realise it at the time until we got back to service. Abi isn't the misses Allye, she's just a very brave individual who chooses to sit with me, im currently "in-between" a misses lol.

 

Anyway, here is SS4 for you guys. Interesting moment at the start after a little too much of a cut.

2 great videos there, how many f**cks per second was that in the 2nd vid??!!

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

ha ha ha ha.. I have no idea but it must be some kind of record. I was convinced that we were heading for the marshalls building.

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

So after the slight argument with the tyre wall in Pembrey, work has began to make Pugsley look his best again. Still a lot to do but it'll get there soon enough.

More work done tonight. Really starting to take shape now. Even straightened out an old battle scar.

Something I've just asked someone else as well - is that a pattern wing and how did you find its fit?

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

It is a pattern part and in all fairness it fits pretty well. The lines are pretty good and the only adjustment that is needed is at the bottom by the sill.

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

More done tonight. All filler work has been done and its now in primer. Hopefully we should get first layer of paint on it tomorrow evening if we can get enough heat in the garage.

 

 

 

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

Did another good shift on the car last night and managed to get it all painted and lacured. Got the garage nice and warm first and apart from one or 2 little reactions which were dealt with, it all went pretty well.

Im leaving it untill Saturday now to cut it back and buff it all up and then put the whole thing back together.

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

All been done with rattle cans. It's not come out too bad in all fairness. Its only a make shift job as the plan is to have a full respray in the summer. More pics coming soon

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

Spent a few hours today cutting it back and polishing it up and made a start at putting it back together. Hopefully by tomorrow evening it will be all done and finished.

 

 

 

 

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Doesnt look bad at all

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

All back together and left the garage earlier on. A few little details left to sort out but nothing major. A little test in the week and we'll be ready for the Tour of Epynt

 

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

So after a long 2 weeks of prep and paint and then tweaking and cleaning, little Pugsley is all ready for the Tour of Epynt on Sunday. Off to Llandovery tomorrow for recce and then scruteneering. Car 103 we are which is near the back but Im not bothered by that. Our aim is to simply finish and take a good haul of points for the Welsh championship. Tour of Caerwent is only 2 weeks away so hopefully no drama and the car will still look like it does now at the end of the rally.

 

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

Recce went well today, made a few alterations to the notes and tried a few different lines to see what felt best. Looking forward to tomorrow. Hoping for a good clean run and come away with a good haul of points.

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

Tour of Epynt all done and dusted. Finished 55th overall and 1st in class. It finally all came together today, no drama, no problems just neat and tidy all day and a great result.

Fantastic run event, even though we lost 3 stages due to a few nasty accidents, Port Talbot Motor Club did a fantastic job of keeping things going.

We head to Caerwent in 2 weeks time leading the class in the Welsh Championship and we'll look to extend that lead.

[luggy 13]

Good result!, any onboard footage to come?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Well done

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

Cheers guys, in car from SS1 is currently uploading.

[Anthony 1,000]

Excellent result - well done!

[arwel 43 2 Cars]

SS1 from Epynt. Beat 5 4WD turbo cars on this one so we didnt do to badly at all.
