    You've ruined it. Good job! Standard engine to hammer round track sounds good. You going to swap intake etc to it or leave it on standard injection?

    I couldn't go back to standard injection even if I wanted too!! It's throttle bodies or bust!!!

    Hopefully it'll just be a straight swap, few hours job done!!

    i knew number one cylinder wouldn't last too long as it was slightly oval when I built it!! The plan was always to get the other power engine built but that's taken a little longer than planned!!

    we'll get there!! It's all fun!!

    Been a few little things going on, nothing major but my old man has a read of this so I know he'll appreciate the update!!



    Shamelessly stolen from Iain, no more windy day worries!!!



    Added a set of poly carbonate windows



    Removed the number plate from the bumper and I've got a sticky one coming for the bonnet



    Was never happy with the lack of a backplate meaning I couldn't have a cambelt cover, took the belt off and the pulleys and added a backplate donated by Iain.



    Much happier now!!



    Added this little catch can from car builder solution, much happier with how it looks compared to the old one and I know Benn loves shiney!!



    Jubilee clip is actually how they advise to mount it, apparently polished jubilee clips are for girls, so I used a standard one!!



    Now something a little more exciting, plumbed in fire extinguisher, kill switch pull isn't attached yet, kill switch on order though!!



    This was the best place I could get it to fit, I've no space behind the seat and the cables didn't allow for it to go anywhere else.





    Manufactured a couple of cheeky little brackets for the nozzles, positioned as best as I could, not ideal but again piping lengths limited what I could do.

    Planned evening at Brands 22 July, fingers crossed I'm not in Poland working and can make it!!

    Got bored tonight so added my rain light, an idea again shamelessly stolen from Iain, he loves it when I copy him, makes him feel special.



    Stain on the drive is from the van loosing it's power steering pump, poor old girl has done 250,000 miles so we let her off.
