[ross2009]

right guy I'm planning the big start up to be next next weekend just waiting for pushrods to turn up this week then it's a matter of fitting rad water pipes oil
and a couple of little things
kev I know you want to come over I'll txt u nearer the time it's getting exciting

[ross2009]

push rods finally arrived



and already fitted





it's soooo tempting to just turn the key
not long now

[manse73]

[Nobby_N]

[ross2009]

You are just teasing me now come on hurry up ellis danni and harvey are waiting too. No sleeping now just spanner action

don't worry kev I'm just waiting on 1 part from the states then I can get it running I'll give ya a bell when it's time

[ross2009]

well bought some more bits today at the show
throttle linkage and carb is all on properly and temp fuel line
water lines will be done this week





I'm waiting on a dizzy from the states as the one I've got is just too big so won't fit even tho it's only temp for start up
but I'm thinking of running it and get it on the rd as it is at the mo put some miles on it till I swap it to efi

so I'll be cracking on with the exhaust making this week at least get the down pipes done
and I'll be all ready for start up

I can't wait

[ross2009]

i keep pushin to this done got all my oils etc for g box diff and engine now



stainless for the exhaust turned up



so i thought id better crack on with making these manifolds for the new turbos to sit





sort of tacked in place you get the idea
















just gotta crack on with the other side now and do the down pipes ive finally got some time off work first time in nearly a year ive had some time off joys of being self employed so im gonna get the exhausts finished this weekend fingers cross and hopefully get ready for blast off
