Gonna be mapped at SCS, I bought the engine, turbo and breather system from Kev, looking back it would have been cheaper to have bought the lot off him but hadn't got the finances at the time,

Bout time you got the resto post going Karl.
You could have come over to Toyota for the 4 wheel, might have been able to sneak it onto the 4 poster during a saturday, FOC
Our alignment machine wouldnt have made that mess of the wheel/wing too lol.
From what you and Dan have said - Ford isnt the nicest place to work at the min.
Cars looking good mate - another passenger ride in the summer when its out?

Not much of an update but a couple of more up to date pics of the engine bay, i had the bulkhead panel powdercoated and that's refitted now, i also bought an air injector mounting bracket off a trader off here, and fitted the air injectors...
Intercooler and Radtech radiator refitted (the intercooler has been modded for RS500 size inlet and outlet tubes, i think they're 76mm instead of 63mm?)
SECS monitor that i bought from STUCOS on here, i will be swapping the gauges for Stack ones eventually, mainly because i want boost and fuel pressure gauges with peak recall.
That's it for now i think, there should be quite a bit of progress in the next few weeks though i hope

Cheers mate, not too much left no, the next big thing is the fuel system, gonna have a swirl pot in the boot, fully aeroquipped etc.
The plan this year really is to get a few miles on ot, then concentrate on sorting out the diff/ gearbox over next winter.
How's yours? Ready for the road?

Haven't tried it yet with the engine running but the pedal does feel a lot lighter and smoother, will let you know once it's on the road.
Tbh, the main reason i changed to hydraulic was because i've broken 2 cables in about 15k miles.
