Nice one lads, Cant wait see it in the metal. When takin it for exhaust. You going same place i did for mine.

[Turbo Dan]

Nice project, looks good on the fans

[cavbow]

Had a little test drive of this the other day as you can see from the Vid, wot a difference it is now, I'm sure Shanger will have lot's of fun in it. Didn't go far as you can see from the vid not got the bonnet back yet from the sprayers and no exhaust on it, plus as Shanger said before 1 of the fuel pumps is playing up so it keeps spluttering and cutting out.

did it all on our own mate

[shanger]

well what a weekend as you may know this weekend i was planning to have my exhaust fitted so i sorted out with a mate from work to borrow his frontera to pull the trailer i had hired. so sorted out the insurance for two days went to pick it up on the friday had no fuel in it so put £40 in only for it to start playing up ten min later then spend next three hours trying to sort it out with no luck so with about an hour before we are due to pick up the trailer and after calling everyone we know i end up having to hire a transit pickup
so sat morning get up 5:30 and set off to sheffield (thanks cavbow for driving) in the pooring rain



so got to sheffield a had the exhaust fitted 3" with a sports cat


set off back home only to end up like this


any way ended up getting in about 10:00
will be having words with the hire company on monday
