Both the Orions looking real good now Hopefully get back on mine soon now we got the Christmas/new year thing out the way. Maybe be able to join in the fun back end of the year

Will sort your sisters car out for the alternator this week, been no free time without the boss there with it being crimbo. Oh and just give us a shout one night to listen to the Audi

Aslong as I drop the oil pump I have at my house with my engine builder by tuesday this week along with the turbo and pullies. I should be able to fetch back the engine completely built up on saturday. . . Complete with a cd full of build up pics for the thread . . . Cant wait to start working on this again. . .

Errrrrrrrrrrrm, no. . . waste of time and delaying the build big style. . .
So I've had to do something I not really happy with and get a used oil pump. . . Its getting cleaned and checked over, but seems fine.

XRT- Mart had a couple lying round which are now no good for his Zetec Turbo build Cheers again mate

Done a 3 hour trip to drop some more parts off with the engine builder Andy tonight straight after work
Turbo, manifold, downpipe, pullies, new bolts for the rocker cover and flywheel, new seals and gaskets for the rocker cover are now all with him.

While up there viewed the engine progress, was also handed over a cd with some pics on . . . :-

As promised, more pics Some will show torque settings. Andys tried to be clever with his pics lol Pics speak a thousand words. . .
I love the engine build though, the colour scheme under the bonnet will look mint.
Its just clean and simple, no bling. . . but it'll look right



















Still more to come maybe later on :mrgreen
