Fighting fit again!

Postby paulwatkins » Sat 03.02.2007, 17:23

Following the engine rebuild job, the car is fighting fit once again (I'll update the project thread again).
But for now, heres some pics following a well deserved wash and polish. :-D
I got to say, I'm chuffed to bits!!!!!

Paul,
It looks great. Well done. What a job you had to take on! You have a big heart.

Your engine compartment especially looks fantastic. Very clean and tastefully done.

Are you going to Donington for us to see it in the flesh/metal?

I didn't notice that until you said Roger. It was like that when I got the car...so this mod was not down to me. Well spotted that man!

Thanks for the comments guys. When I see the car looking as it is, it makes all those hours of work seem worthwhile!

Not that I've noticed.......but then again, I did have a stuck wastegate valve prior to the project, so was experiencing a bit more boost back then :oops:

Well done Paul - hope to congratulate you in person at Donny.

As a beginner's guide, I think we could be directing people to your project thread to show what's possible for a long time to come.
