Shame its not able to run but judging on the weather you wouldn't of being able to test it safely.
Looks a awesome package though, love the lack of bullshit in the bay, few obvious big power items but it looks essentially like a YB with a fecking big turbo
and from the outside as mentioned its a very normal looking Saph.

Rod I remember you commenting long ago that your Saff was past looking its best cos of the stickers etc.
I noticed the other bits missing but I thought the hanger would need to be there to help the manifold out, just down to the sheer weight of the turbo! Which is the only reason I commented

A head gasket problem is not a blow up.
