Right after compleating the T3 conversion i had to get the exhaust system sorted to mate up with the T3 so bodged ther exhaust together as best i could and took it down to Pipecraft.

Here it is at the exhaust place getting a flexi joint put in to the system on the T3 down pipe. Pipecraft is an excelent place and do top work



Bloke welding flexi section to a new part of mandrel bent stainless.



All finnished and fitted up nice...



After all that i took the car into Grove Garage again to see if they could find the cause of the Oil Light problem. They had it for a lil while and put their oil pressure guage on it and found it was low oil pressure Could be Big ends gone, oil pump, strainer blocked.....all manner of things.

Well i thought to save me the hassle of fixing it in the freazing cold and the fact i couldnt be arsed to do it after everything else i have done id give a good friend of mine a call. Ian at Specialised Engines now have my car and the block has come out today, hes fitting mine in around jobs. So will be getting updates as and when something is done.

So thats it for the mo untill i get some updates from Specialised to what the problem is and how they are going to fix it......

Also i have the devil on one sholder saying

" Welll the bottom end is out and is going to get stripped down, you may aswell get some work done while its out, ya know lighten and balance ARP bolts ect ect..."

And and angel on the other saying

" You do have most of a ZT sitting in the shed, it may not be built for a while yet but why get another engine speced up when theres a better one waiting to be made."

Decisions decisions don't ya just love em.....
