slingo · April 29, 2009, 09:31:07 PM

End of july gyles hopefully,but i dont wont to rush it !

gyles18 · April 29, 2009, 09:37:23 PM

of course, mistakes happen when things are rushed. you\'ll still have a few months of summer to enjoy it though. would be good to see it when it\'s up and running again :mmmm

its had an exhaust port only karl it came from show car that was stuffed up the rear just 900 km after a rebuild.im not going to port the inlets for now,im in the process of bolting on the turbo and sorting the wiring and vacums

I managed to remove my finger from my ar$$ and swung the engine back into place whilst bathing in gear oil :Thumbs-up .i havent got new injectors or e.c.u yet due to lack of funds but it will give me time to finish the bodywork but i want to run the engine before i take the uim off again
