Will be soon Si, i'm doing a compression test on the engine tonight to see whats up with it, im presuming its the rings but will have to see. Once thats confirmed ill probably start stripping then and give Tom the thumbs up to crack on! Deffo up for a grudge match!! Ill speak to Dave!

With the side exit make sure you have enough clearance. I bought this tailpipe with that intention but there was no room for it - it would've sat far too close to the ground.

Bit of an update.....!

Picked up my turbo from Tommy friday night all spangling and fresh! Had a new shaft with 360 thrust bearing, new seals and all acid dipped cleaned. The housing was also replaced as my old one had a slight crack in!

Few pics...:







Also I have stripped the car of most of the electrics ready to re-do them! Thought id pull the loom out, replace it with a minty mint one and get it all seamed together nicely with the other electrics (pumps etc)!! Got to move the fuel lines where they go through the bulkhead properly as well.




One of the engine bay starting to be stripped down ready for the bay to be painted again. Just got to remove the rad and cooler, header tank and a few other sods and all will be good!!



Doh!!!!!!!!! :blub::blub::blub::blub::blub::blub::blub:





Couple of updated pics from the weekend after using 2 litres of Nitro Mores on the engine bay!!! Should be being painted tomorrow!

Off she goes to the workshop..!





One of the trusy runabout!!

Because the chap who painted the engine bay didnt prep it correctly and it started peeling/cracking in places. Thought it best to get it done again but properly!

Had some pics sent to me today of my new exhaust which has just been made! Didnt like the centre one I initially had, plus the fact it was thrown together didnt really help! From the pics it looks 100000 times better than the previous!! 3" stainless all the way down! Its being delivered back home tomorrow so will get some better pics then!
