Time to Reflect

For the IVA rear relfectors are required.  After looking at various people's versions, I thought for now I would make a simple bracket that bolts on under the brake light.

I created a pattern on a piece of card, and then once happy cut it out from a sheet of Stainless Steel.  The holes were bored, and everything was rounded off and polished with the polisher.

I then moved onto getting the ID plate fixed to the bulkhead.  I have a fairly empty bulkhead, so placed it nearer to the passenger side.

A front number plate blank was made from a piece of plywood just to mimic where the number plate will finally fit.  This is currntly screwed onto the bar using P-Clips. Not sure how I'm going to fit the plastic number plate - if you have any ideas please let me know.

I also changed the engine oil - had a petrol smell so I will have to check after getting the engine setup on the dyno.  Since my LS7 has a batwing sump from an LS2, it isn't 100% straight forward.  The oil spec is easy enough, it needs to be GM4718M 5W30.  I used Comma Syner-X Fully Synthetic.

The oil filter needs to be the one from the LS2 which is an AC Delco PF46 (Or equivalent - In my case Mahle OC 999).  

The engine takes 6 litres of oil.  

Shetland Classic Motor Show 2024

I had my car at the Shetland Classic Motorshow back in 2018 - it was merely a rolling shell that couldn't run.  I was hoping that it would have been finished long ago and that I would be able to fully drive the car to the show (Approx 10 miles away).  It wasn't to be - I had to utilise my trailer again, but that is why I bought it!  At least this time I could drive the car in and out of the trailer.  Next time the show is on (2026) I will be able to drive her there.  If you are keen, keep an eye on the show here: https://www.facebook.com/ShetlandCMS.  Maybe we can have a GD stand in the future!

I just had to finish off a few things to make the car presentable.  I clipped on the harnesses, and gave her a good polish.  Spinners were put on the wheels to finish them off.
