Lennon #ProgressReport 2

Sick Bay.

As Baz Luhrmann said in that feel good song, "the race is long, and at the end of the day it's only with yourself." That certainly rings true with our projects although I'm pretty happy to say that Lennon is moving on at quite a rate of knots so far.

Lennon is currently in the sick bay as you may have already seen in my first Progress Report. Since Lennon arrived, we have worked on the following:

• Removed Engine
• Sourced problem with engine (Cylinder Head)
• Replaced Cylinder Head, this should eliminate the knocking                 

This week has been a long one, but my dad has had a little bit of free time to plug away at Lennon. Therefore, the tinware, which is the metal casing that sits around the engine once in the engine bay, has been removed and painted black to release the heat from the engine (I think... or that we just chose black, but a scientific reason is always necessary). This means the engine bay will look nice and neat.

In addition, the engine itself has had a bit of a clean, port, and polish inside and a little bit outside although that will have to be the next step before his life and soul is fitted back into the car.

Now, for an interior update. Remember "Lennon & Lime"? Well yes, we've retained the lemon paintwork on the outside and decided on lime green interior. I'm actually incredibly excited because this means Lennon will look absolutely nuts and will perhaps be the only car that can divide opinion, unless you drive a Corsa or KA then those battles within the working class will always wage on HOWEVER! This car because of its striking colour choice could easily be a catalyst for sparking a civil war within my friend group, Wetherspoons, or possibly the whole of the UK.

The door cards and seat covers have already been sent off to be made so the decision is made and we should see the covers arrive towards the end of the month.

If you think we're mad deciding on Lime Green interior, patience young Jedi.

I will be providing a weekend update next on Lennon with the rust holes repaired and any further progress on our schedule.

Plus, English apples are fucking awful... Eating one while I write was a bad choice.
