Spent most of yesterday running round picking up bits and bobs and people to help change the engine on the touring!
Massive thanks to Karan, and Simon13 for coming along and Neil for providing the donor!
Spent the rest of the afternoon pulling out two engines weighing up the plan of action. Karan and Simon had to leave for the evening, but then Demlotcrew (once again a hero) came round, and even though it was dark, we got the engine in and mounted, and the prop all done! So this afternoon leaves the wiring, manifold and a few other bits to go on.
Got a Z3 2.8 Shortshift on it too, which I can't wait to try out!!

:D :D :D :D :D

Big thanks once again chaps! :bow:

Karan, Simon13 and Demlotcrew have left just recently!

Got it all finished, just a couple of teething problems to sort out with the engine.

The short-shift is awesome, I really like it. Wanna try the car out on track to really feel the benefit but it's brilliant! Let my Dad have a go and he really liked it too!! :lol:

Need to get a couple of the studs into the manifold, luckily they aren't snapped, just need to fiddle about with it!

Also, the big breather pipe under the inlet manifold is leaking a bit of oil, so that needs to be fixed!

Will all be done soon, and I will tax/MoT/insure it soon!

Will be at Gaydon, sporting some BBS RS splitties perhaps!

:D

Once again, MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who helped out today.

Celebratory donuts all round. :mad: :D
