I was gutted as I really wanted go bring it back down the road. I had a long chat with Fraggle about it before I went up and was looking forward to getting it out on track.
But on the way down from Aberdeen we nipped into see Fred Wood and he was all over my sierra, he has the Thundersaloon tucked up in the corner of his garage and we had come to a agreement on it but im not sure if im doing the right thing as I promised myself i'd see the Sierra out and drop a RB26 DETT in it and hopefully get it featured in a mag but the amount i'd plough into that could get the YB in the Thundersaloon a rebuild and it would be a monster out on track.
Yeah it still needs a fair bit of work to finish. All the hard work is done though. A few weekends spent on it and it would be there though.
The turbo shouldn't have play in it, it was a brandnew T4, has done zero miles and hasn't even seen boost.
He's still got it, he'll never finish it though so will be back up forsale.
The dipstick needs changed as it's broken at the bottom. It was only there to fill the hole. The oil should have been fine, it's never been driven since I changed it and it was topped up to the max and I used my mates escos one to check the level.
Sounds like Dale lol
