Havent done much since the last update.

Got the car running, but the idle was f**ked. Dragged it up to Chorley St Garage in Bolton with the AA man behind me in case I broke down, lol.

Its been set up for now, but needs a proper set up by the likes of MSD or NMS, which it will be getting in a couple of weeks.

My mate is having it next weekend to sort this lovely bit of wiring out





Once that's done we will know if its getting the proper amount of juice to the fuel pump to flow properly, and it can be set up.

In the meantime, will install my gauges where the radio was, so I can keep an eye on oil pressure, oil temp and boost


Anotjher issues has also arisen.......... bottom end seems to be breathing a little heavy at the moment. I am not sure if this is down to where the oil return is plumbed in, or whether the rings are fucked. I will do a leakdown test this week. In te meantime, homemade catch tank FTW



Then I took to installing my older 88spec trim panels instead of the creamy 90 spec ones



You can see the difference here


and on removal of the panels, I was greeted by a lovely sight






ewwwww, thats fucking GRIM!!! I cant wait to find an 88 spec head lining

On the upside though, my Goodridge banjo-ended brakelines have turned up


That means I can now fit my cossie 4 pots and 283mm grooved discs.......... AWESOME!!
