Posted a few queries on here over my overhaul that grew arms and legs, thought I'd update. Owned the car 23 years now.
Finally got the engine/wiring completed, cranked it over to get the oil pressure up, fuel relay back in, wouldn't fire. Was expecting hours of fault finding after the amount of work I've done and the time it's been 'dead', but, hadn't put the alarm fuse back in.....re-fitted, brum, straight away. Chuffed to say the least. Bit more to do before I get it MOT'd etc but at least it's running again. My 8 year old son can't remember it working.
Short list of work:
Sump removed & modified for breather return
New big ends & mains (whilst it was in bits, didn't really need them)
New oil seals everywhere
New AP organic clutch & ARP flywheel bolts
New Autodynamix engine/fan/fuel pump looms
L8 ECU, Siemens blacks and new MSD chip to suit
New starter & battery
New cam belt & tensioner
New Collins engine mounts
New Vibratechnics gearbox mount
Trouble is, all the time it's been off the road, I honestly haven't missed it. Been running a 996 turbo for the last 3 years and an E46 M3 prior to that so the Cossie has become somewhat redundant. Hoping driving it again will put a smile on my face, and be good to give it a run against it's stablemate
Haven't found any for sale to get an idea of it's value these days either, any pointers?
