Got my Area 6 valve springs back off Rob on Sunday, hopefully dropping them and the head off to Dunnell on Thursday so they can double check, springs, valves, retainers and collets.

Smit, the Sierra is going to be stripped this week and will get your doors painted and let you know when i am ready for the car. 
Anyway back to a "proper" car, its update time.......
Been roughing the engine together and seeing what needs adapting
So far the list of modifying includes, getting another uprated valve spring and retainer from Ian Howell as ones been lost (Fooookin handy
)
The turbo mount on the manifold needs changing to a T3 size one as its currently a T25 one.
Turbo hangger needs to be made along with a coil mounting bracket and acuator mounting bracket.
Sump needs an oil return.
So much to do and so little time to get it done.

Haven't got the chance! With work throwing all this money at me!
You can have the car whenever but i won't have the dollar until 25th February (As have loads to pay in Jan, hence not going to Bedford
) So your more than welcome to fit the taxi in but i won't have the funds until feb to pay for the work 
Not trying to pull a fast one, just saying how it is...

Cheers guys
Indeed rent is due mate, i will be about tomorrow night if your not doing anything. Ive got a few Zetec coil brackets, but i think a custom jobby is needed as the boost hose is going to foul on it.

Alright guys, yes Toby made the exhaust flange. The engine is all bolted together, I have made the exhaust down pipe (just needs tigging up) a guy on here is making me a baffled sump, turbo is bolted on, just got to make the oil return, altanator assembly is trail fitted. Next job is the inlet manifold.
