Another update
Alan finished all the welding, so it was time to go and pick the car up! Mark got everything rigged up and we set off...



Arrived in Ballymoney just before 8 and as usual had a good chat with Alan and Steven. There's always something interesting to have a nosey at in their workshop Steven thinks there are a few little tricks he can do to the RS turbo head to improve low load respose, so we'll be taking the head up to him. This will probably happen next week whem we take Mark's sapphire up to get a base map put on his DTA.
Anyway got the car back and i took a few (crap) pictures of it.






Welding as usual is top notch and as the car is going to be used, it was decided to waxoil below it. The rear suspension is being changed for a new powdercoated set, so ignore the arms in the pics as they will be getting binned.
Car is hopefully being taken to a painter to get a quote for doing the bay and a few other parts next week.
The RS turbo take a back seat for a bit as we need to get Marks sapph ready. I've a bit of wiring to do and we need to roughly set the adjustable TCAs and compression stuts, before it goes to get mapped.
