Was a good day's huntin'. The donk was soon in and the rest of it just flowed over time. Car looks the tits mate and I'm jealous of those seats and the lack of rust. Hope the fine tuning gets sorted quickly, it's going to be a beast I tells ye

Initial rough running due to coolant temp sensor and oil pressure switch wires swapped over.
I soon put 'em right. Clattery top end quietened down as the tappets properly filled with oil. It picks up well and barks nicely!

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I did know that mate. It's a price i am willing to pay.
He is a nuisance but in the best possible way. I haven't even seen a picture and I know it will be perfect. I never need to question anything he tells me. Everything he does for me is spot on. The guy is a hero.
He has done more than anyone to get my turd finished. Put up with almost daily phone calls, answer all my numpty questions, and advised me all the way through. I can't thank him enough.

Nice one Dez
Be nice to see this car driving under its own steam, going down to the mids meet in mine this saturday after not driving it for a while and im thoroughly looking forward to it so you must be well chuffed to finally get behind the wheel and not have to make engine noises.

Thanks Glenn.
I think I am allowed to rock that cover since I am rocking, S50 pistons, S52 headgasket, and S52 cams.
Still hurt paying 100 seats for it though.
