The second outing of FATCAPK was a more than rousing success on Saturday as a large group descended on Joe Hine's garage, drank all his tea, scattered his tools all over the place and lost his nuts. Not only did we install the engine, we hooked up the drive shaft, connected the clutch slave cylinder and staged a furious battle with his adjustable reaction tie plate. In the end we caused much less damage than he'd been prepared for and the fire extinguishers and first aid kits were put away. A video of the day can be found here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKczOtzLYFs

Congratulations guys on getting the job done AND for one of the best postings EVER on this site. Very creative!
AWSOME !!!
Very cool video. My (adult) kids loved it. Bob modestly didn't mention that he was one of the chief mechanics/consultants, as well as a driving force to get more accomplished. Cheers, Larry H.
Just an update....managed to get the torsion bars in over the last two days and the car is on its wheels for the first time in 40 years...thanks to everyone, and I agree with Larry, Bob is a great one to have helping.

Bob isn't doing any of this for altruistic reasons. He's plotting a takeover of FABAC by E-Types. We now have four in the club (two running) with the impending purchase of a few more. At some point FABAC will become FAJOC or FAETOC or FGWET or....something.
Bob (secretly plotting!)
Maybe I will have one before the take-over is complete. ;-)
