Whats that supposed to mean?

Is it my fault that that i'm not very well at the moment and the fact i'm working some shitty hours at the mo?!

I spend most of my spare time trying to help people out if i can and apart from only a couple of people who apreciate it, get no fucking thanks for it.

Fuck it. Aint gonna bother no more. Just gonna look after my fucking self from now on. Bollocks.

And as for what power everybody says/thinks they have? I really couldnt give a flying fuck.

few other random shots









Shes starting to come together now, got to get some new copper seals for the turbo water feed / return, get a set of new

jubliee clips so i can get the awkward smacos on, fit rear main then flywheel and clutch and plonk her back in. Will hopefully

get this done saturday depending on weather and of course the two other mechanics ( kitchen devil & joers22 )

Finally some progress

Been on holiday recently and also taken a month off from work so had plenty of time to work on the saph, while i was on holiday gary ( kitchen devil ) and also karl of here dropped the yb back its it bay

Went up there the last few days and fitted the cooler, rad and hoses and tinkered around with all the other bits and before i knew it she was ready to start. Dropped the oil in and some water, then started to crank......

nothing happened though, no fuel pump

Started to check my wiring against ryans instructions and everything was sweet. Cracked out the voltmeter i had voltage at the fuel relay but none at the pump.

Decided enough was enough and slept on it.

Went back up this morning emptied the boot and remembered the feul cut off in the boot, pressed it and she fired up first time



Ran it up for a while with only one leak and that was the water feed on the 34, nipped it up and everything seems sweet.

Going up tomorrow to re fit the dash and the group a pump with loom and then get on the phone to torques for a set up
