Did ya find any more of ya parts james? I'll look in my shed of much spares if not

Yeah managed to find the bits in owen garage , all but the pipe needed from the servo, unfortunately everything to do with the braking system was left behind!

Today 12th Nov. The Engine is now pretty much sorted , were just waiting on the Exhaust reducer to connect the new Manifold to the rest of the exhaust & a coulpe of little bits and were there. Although as its all in and running now i couldn't help but have a listen.....sweeeet!! Sounds like a SantaPod Funny car!

Todays pics.

Feast your ears on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The next thing on the list is the rest of Exhaust system, the braking
system from a 16v mk2 & some Coilovers. Just ran out of funds to
have it all done now!!!

Was great to hear it fire to life for the first time mate

I Definatly have to agree with you there mate!! its gonna be so Jeffing Cool man!!!

Was this the type of system you were talking about Lee?

Yes mate

I did find it cheaper elsewhere though.

I wonder if they'll do discount for 2 systems going to 1 address

Its definatly worth asking the question , how soon are you thinking about ordering one? I'd probably be looking to place the order in 2/3 weeks. Just as soon as i get some money back in the bank!!!

Likewise mate, depends on what money i have come in. Xmas is soon and theres pressies to buy, plus i away for some of the time aswell. Think it'll be jan before i order but i'll defo ask for discount

Well, ive now got the car back, after its 16v engine conversion done by Tinklers in Ramsey and Caddyrage!! Hope you all liked the photo's!
I'd just like to Thank everyone involved for making the whole job so effortless and run so smoothly. Loving every minute of the car so far....man its quick!! Can't wait to get the rest of the exhaust sorted out & unleash those extra 20 horses....that's the next job!

Thanks again!

Might need to source a kr exhaust cam aswell to get the best out of it mate. It dont feel as rapid as my truck so i later bet its still got the poo 9a cams in it.
Might be just down to the cabby weighing more though.

I not far off from my exhaust funds so i'll be making a call soon so long as nothing major comes up first
