that was the spec we beleaved it to have and that he paid £1600 for which is fair money.

we took it to get set up and on 0.9 bar it made 160bhp and 175lbft which wernt bad but abit low imo. anywho we got it home and the fun began. after a day of having it the clutch started slipping like fook and a couple of oil leaks appeared. so a phone call to the bloke we bought it off and he agreed to send him a new clutch.

all good we thought so we proceeded to drop the engine and box as this would be the easiest way to do it imo, this is where the fun began. on removing it we found this list of faults

3 bolts missing from the gearbox to the engine.
Only one bolt holding the equal length driveshaft set up and that was loose
All the wiring just twisted together and taped
Cross member just cut and bashed, not "done properly" as we were told
Standard brakes
No new shocks on the back
Completely standard head, cam and inlet
Standard turbo
Bodged up not custom exhaust
Standard bottom end
Standard clutch
Standard 1.3 gearbox
Radiator and fan not fixed in at all

im sure there was more but i cant remember. anywho so a call back to who we bought it off and a day of fooking about but he eventually got £500 back :d

so basically we have now stripped it and started again properly so new post for new chaptor

[brainsnova]

good result lol some people fail big time trying to mod things overall its a nice looking car i like it.

[burgo]

so we are basically starting with a bare filthy engine bay

[Rysee]

Nice project, Old Fiestas are cool

[burgo]

due to the amount of power hes hoping to achieve the standard intercooler had to go. ive always been a fan of chargecoolers and being as hes trying to keep the stealth look this seemed the best way to go. i found a ford focus rs set up on the bay and won it for £110. bargain!! when we got there however we discovered this thing is huge lol and i had serious doubts as to wether it would fit.

so we bolted in the rad and made room for the charger cooler rad in front of it, that was the easy bit. the actually chargecooler unit was the tricky bit. due to the size there was only one place for it to go, so bolted on the gearbox and tiebar and the mocked up a bracket and shes in, just lol

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303238.jpg

replated the cut out for the turbo fan

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303239.jpg

front panel cut out nice and neatly instead of hacked
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303240.jpg

my bracket and modified chassis leg for the pipework

not bad for two days work :p

[Iain]

Looks a tidy engine bay, nice progress.

[bmw156]

wicked dude, i am guessing this is the one coming to the rolling road lol

and yeh thats damn good for two days work, wanna come around and help do my front panel lol.

[Stoo]

Nice
Very nice!

Eyes on!! :)

[brainsnova]

nice clean shell from the looks of it.

[NathanSRi]

I love Mk2 Fezzy's, Definitely going to be watching this one :thumb:

[Spudly]

That looks sexy as hell, ive got a proper soft spot for mk2 fiesta's and i will own an XR2 at some point (had a 2i and loved it too) keep the updates coming man:thumb:

[burgo]

oh yes i forgot to mention as well we're not sticking with the crappy cvh motor lol its gonna be a 2L zvh going back in :) with about 20psi pumped into it.

yes martin this will be the one coming to get set up down there

and yes the shell is as clean as it looks, has never had and doesnt need any rot repair, other than the battery tray but that dont count lol

[16v Nova Kev]

looks good i nearly bought a mk1 last week but missed it poo.
what do you use to clean up the metal with burgo

[burgo]

a selection of wire wheels in a dril, couple of flat head screwdrivers and alot of time lol

[16v Nova Kev]

cool looks good man a wish a had a mate like you up here i could do with all the help i can get with this gte lol

[Steve]

Nice project mate, my mate who welded my nova has a mint xr2, and I do mean mint, still got the cvh but on 45s and all stripped out etc..

How much work is it to get a 2.0 in there?

[burgo]

2L bottom end is a piece of piss to be honest. altho i only know about turbo'd versions. basically you buy a de-comp plate from ferriday which blocks the un-needed oil ways. then buy the required head bolts and breather blank from ebay and jobs done

[~~joycey~~]

mk2 fezzer ftw :)

[Rickyb]

nom nom nom very nice sir!

[peester]

cool nice 'saved' story. doing the blue oval proud.
car is ace, would have been bowled over originally myself..

[Cle]

i love early fords :)

[tony k]

quality mate should loom good when done atleast its going to be used and not in a scrappy for parts,love the old fords,will be going back to them miss my series 1

[BODGSI]

that is tidy mate! is the cvh lump for sale then mine aint to cleaver?

[srs1]

top work burgo. skills are not wasted on just rotten nova's. lol

[burgo]

yes chris the cvh is up for sale.

na i can put my skills to any old rotten motor :P

anywho update :)

todays tasks were to wash the whole can as it had become bogging, flat the runs in the primer and re-prime and then lob on the first coat of white. and thats what we did :)

3 bolts missing from the gearbox to the engine. - rubbish
Only one bolt holding the equal length driveshaft set up and that was loose - never took the box out so rubbish
All the wiring just twisted together and taped - told you the wiring needed sorting
Cross member just cut and bashed, not "done properly" as we were told - all the member needed and still strong
Standard brakes - got the pictures of fitting the xr2 brakes so rubbish
No new shocks on the back - only said it had new fronts and rears were near new wen i got car
Completely standard head, cam and inlet - complete rubbish, was a stage3 head, ports were huge and smooth
Standard turbo - rubbish, turbo technics stage 1 turbo(turbo technics cant confirm that by a part number, turbo has to be dismatled, already asked em)
Bodged up not custom exhaust - told you it was a FRST sytem modded to fit therefore custom
Standard bottom end - if .5 oversize forged pistons and balanced crank and rods is standard then ok
Standard clutch - valeo stage 1 organic
Standard 1.3 gearbox - told you that when you picked it up and you said fine
Radiator and fan not fixed in at all - fan was bolted into the front panel rad pipes kept rad in place

im sure there was more but i cant remember. anywho so a call back to who we bought it off and a day of fooking about but he eventually got £500 back :d

so basically we have now stripped it and started again properly so new post for new chaptor

so in all this man is full of ****, he bought me no prove of this crap, jus rung me and spouted out all sorts of bollox, i have sold hundreds of cars and 4 of these conversion previous and never once had a complaint, it was bought as an unfinished project that needed work, he walked in the garage and offered me cash, didnt even look at the car so who's fault is that really

offered you a full refund but you said you needed to use to car this week but as i see its in bits, lying little fooker,


i have to say i still have a spare key for this car, anymore bul**** that come up on here and it will dissapear, fat little ****, **** you, im keeping the clutch till you give me the engineers report of the engine i asked for that proves you arent making the **** up, i know that engine was forged and the head was modded, you screwed me out of 500 cause my business partners soft, well i ****in aint mate. if you wanted a proper speced fiesta you pay around £3k not £1600, it was cheap already and if you werent happy you shudnt of bought it in the first place. if you want to see a bodge jus look at that nova estate, thats fooking dangerous,

[Martin]

pmsl.. how is it dangermouse?

dodgy dodgy.

disregarding how good / bad it was before, you guys have done a bloody good job on that. the shell looks fkin mint for an old fiesta. get some supersport rims for it and ditch the early spoiler and it will look the nuts i reck.

[napalm_27]

my mate has the zvh lump in his rst fiesta as said on facebook luke we will come meet up in it when its finished
and that bloke sounds like a tool

[burgo]

thanks fellas. hopefully this thread can get back on track now as even with all this going on we are still cracking on with it

[muzzy]

Look, It's obvious you're telling porky's, You're getting all defensive and acting macho, Trying to defend what you have done, And you can't spell for sh!t, The clear signs of a scammer, Just get over it and bury your head in the sand for a while.

[40ies]

at end of the day, you paid for a car before having a proper look at it, i can get proof of all the work done yet im still waiting for the proof of this aparent "standard" engine, i dnt want nothing signed by a mot tester either, i want an engineers report with bore sizes, piston part numbers, port sizes valve sizes etc.... you can slag the car off all you like but like i told you before the engine was bought by me from a trader, he is willing to stand up in court to hold his end, so there obviously something amiss since it left my house, wen u got here i tiold you about the clutch, it wasnt leaking as much oil as u stated either, in fact there are no oil marks at all here, and the rolling road guy said with a better clutch and cooler that will do 200bhp easy. Like ive said, engineers report to prove or get ure own clutch,

i was very reasonable with you untill i saw this thread, i will say what ive said 200 times, it was as described apart form the bits i told you about when you was here, what happened since everyone believes this way is your a scammer trying to **** people over like your phony insurance claims and false insurance policies, you no doubt sold the engine "standard" engine since for more than its aparent worth so therefore cant get the engineers report i want, all just to have more money to spend on it, when you was here you said you didnt know nothing about cars and you told the rolling road operator the same thing. if you wanted a mint fiesta with super engine why look at an unfinished project, my old grey one is for sale for £3.5k he never had a complaint abotu that, and benny had the blue one after that, again he knew what was wrong with that wen he bought it. Ive said what i got to say, sorry for the childish out bursts, you will get your clutch when i recieve the engineers report,

Actually, Lets take a better look at our friend "40ies"

Interests:
Cars/Women, drivin responsably!!!lol, pissin the police off

"Cars/Women" Buying cheap and nasty cars that look ok from the outside and make alot of noise, Impresses the ladies.

"drivin responsably!!! lol" Blatant lie, These sheds on wheels he buys and sells on for large profits after fitting pov spec 250,000 bhp cossie engines are so un-roadworthy they are impossible to drive "responsably"

"Pissin the police off" Well known to the police for driving around in cars that are hanging and often attempting to leave them in his 250,000 bhp cossie powered look-a-like XR2 Fiesta's.

Occupation:
Driver

"Driver" Buying cars from scrap yards, Driving them home and painting them with homebase emulsion and rattle cans, Claim they have 160+ bhp and sell them for less than what it should go for.


Drives::
changes weekly lol

"Changes weekly lol" Changes weekly due to many things,

Not being able to drive properly due to bits falling off the car as they plod along at 40 mph (Top speed)

Selling scrapper on for a huge profit after lieing to the buyer and claiming they are rust freee MONSTORS!!!!!

Police takeing them off of him.

so what were we supposed to do?? strip the engine before we bought it to see if it had done what it was supposed to have done?

i think you need to do abit of research as to what an engineers report is. when you do you'll find someone who is MOT critificated is an engineer

whilst there you said nothing about the clutch and i can only take your word for there being no oil patches there.

the rolling road guy could only go off your claimed spec, if it had have been that spec then yes it should see 200bhp easily.

also you are speaking to luke not nick, indeed yes nick doesnt know much about cars hence why he brought me. i do know plenty enough thanks.

i dont quite know how you have worked out that im a scammer but i have a very good reputation of being a decent and honest person. we have not sold the engine, if i had how the hell did i get those pics today??

its funny how i have been contacted by other people saying how there sorry to hear that we got done over by you and if they had known that we were interested then they would have warned us off as your a renowned bodge artist.

[dannyb]

Back on the Fiesta...I love what you have done to the engine bay Burgo, your welding looks lovely and I know you will make a good car from this, regardless of the state you bought it from. + rep for working on the car on the roadside in the street!

O ****, some shizzle has gone down lol

i took a look at the other thread as well and it all looks standard lol

and burgo you have pm

[tom reid]

Whatever happened to buyer beware? I do think you have been shafted Luke, however, surely an inspection of the exhaust and front brakes would have revealed the true extent of the mods before you paid for it, it does seem too cheap for the alleged mods, didn't that occur to you?

Top work so far.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303264.jpg

the rest of the paint for the engine bay comes in tomorrow so there should be plenty of progress pics for you tomorrow night

[Southie]

Now I'm liking this :d The build that is and not the arguing.

[Pistol Pete]

Some good progress being made. In a fooking short space of time. Nice one.

[calibra-keith]

shame its a ford :roll: and shame you have been shafted but its half and half in my eyes, you took someone who knows cars very well but still went ahead with buying it when its clear 50% of it is not as it seams without having to take it apart would make many people walk away, its good to catch scammers out but you did buy it at end of day i take it was sold as seen or have i missed the advert somewhere ?

one for the courts let them decided as the seller is willing and maybe he has good reason to ?? most people will faver a well known member but it is still possible a well known and normally very helpful honest member could be a scammer, got it wrong and made a mistake ?

but hey good work like always be nice to see how it turns out in the end :thumb:

[burgo]

i see no sign of sold as scene on the receipt!!!

and one thing i am not is a scammer. you can see from the pics i am telling the truth

ever since the start of this, at the end of the day if there was nothing wrong with the car we wouldnt of had to call him.

to be honest i feel sorry for his business partner as dave is the nicest bloke me mate nick has spoke to and just wants the hassle sorted, as do we. hopefully james will come round to that way of thinking aswell

[Steve]

Good work mate, shame about all the hassle you've got from it but you're doing a good job of putting it right :thumb:

[stupot89]

always been a fan of the mk2 fiesta's ever since my dad h a red popular plus i will be keepin my eye on this one keep up the good work

[burgo]

update time :). got another coat of paint on and then two coats of laquer and im proper chuffed with the paint finish concidering it was painted on the side of the road lol

[bmw156]

[mowgli]

i'm stunned that you are doing this out in the street... in hinckley, either the council or the pikeys would have removed it by now.... good job so far though.

[burgo]

cheers fellas. we're gonna be mocking the engine up today to make sure its all hunky dorie before we go any further with that side of it

[scott.parker]

i'm stunned that you are doing this out in the street... in hinckley, either the council or the pikeys would have removed it by now.... good job so far though.

I was thinking something like this too!

Fair play for working on the road side, is it at yours Luke?

The Neighbors must love you? lol

[burgo]

yes its outside mine mate and no they really really dont lol

[Novaboi_1991]

nice work mate. keep it up!

[burgo]

well ive been a lazy cnut and only just woke up lol. mean while nick has painted up all the bottom arms and gear linkage and is gonna start on the hubs. im starting on the wiring

[twistysnovagte]

as stated luke i only hold my hands up to you mate for the work your doing outside,should be sweet when youve finnished!love the old skool motors.and getting up at ten to four wtf lol

[burgo]

pictures time. as said my task was sorting an re-routing all the wiring to hide it all. it wernt quite a tricky as i thought when i identified everything which is all good :)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303282.jpg

the routing in the wheel arch. it'll all be wrapped correctly once ive ran the rest thought.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303281.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303280.jpg

we then tried to work out where the chargecooler pump and header tank were going to go so fitted the rads. it is silly how close everything is

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303278.jpg

magical invisable washer pump wiring

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303293.jpg

whilst at the scrappy we found this non level sensing cap aswell which is much neater

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303292.jpg

this is the reason things appear to have slowwed down. the engine has taken alot of working out and modifications to get it to work but its pretty much ready to bolt in now :)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303289.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303295.jpg

to be fair it would have been in sooner but i had to make this

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303296.jpg

which holds this

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303300.jpg

just here

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303299.jpg

we also got the linkage bolted on and clutch cable in and steering column in, blah blah

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303302.jpg

[Southie]

More good grafting :)

Don't forget to take that bolt out sitting on the piston ;)

[The Simps]

Cool project!

[Ben]

Seems to be a shed load of space lol

[burgo]

i was suprised how small the engine looks at the mo

[Spudly]

Update please mr burgo:thumb:

[Southie]

Update please mr burgo:thumb:

He did at 10.55 last night lol

Give him chance to work through the day. lol

[Spudly]

He did at 10.55 last night lol

Give him chance to work through the day. lol

Damnit no, thats not enough, ive got such a soft spot for mk2 fiesta's and i would still own an XRpoo given the chance, had a poo-i (mk3) and it was a hoot but i still want a mk2 and this one is going to be utter p0rn once finished, and i want to see it:thumb:

[Adam]

Looks a good project, bay looks well now its all painted up :cool:

[burgo]

here you go mr impatient spud. unfortunetly the rain spoilt play abit but i managed to get the rad shortened and sealed up today and as with this car it just gets better or worse however you look at it. i got nick to strip the head

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303303.jpg

and then i was going to port match it, this is where i discovered it wasnt a turbo head and actually an xr2i head!!!!

which means porting time :d

standard head

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303304.jpg

opened out to the gasket

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303305.jpg

finished with a flap wheel

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303306.jpg

then rain stopped play

[Spudly]

Thats impressive work luke im liking the way youre just going at each obstacle rather than just saying oh fcuk ive gotta find 'this' bit now, nope ill just mod whats there to do the correct job, good man:thumb:

[burgo]

dont have much choice mr spud. gotta be finished at the end of the day

[Spudly]

dont have much choice mr spud. gotta be finished at the end of the day


Fair point but your skills are impressing me for one and im definately keeping an eye on this one for the updates bud, she gonna be a good one when youve finished:thumb:

[Novaboi_1991]

looks mint mate :D

[Ben]

So basically it was a turbo bolted onto a n/a engine?

[burgo]

no it was a turbo bottom end to be fair lol. quite impressive that it made the power it did concidering it was less than standard

[brainsnova]

so another thing to prove the last owner was wrong again lol

[Mcgowan]

Luke i feel that i may be in love with you!!lol
Spudly can gladly explain!!:d

[16v Nova Kev]

nice bit of porting there burgo what did you use (pics) i might give my 8v head go

[burgo]

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303309.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303310.jpg

and sweed got the hubs on and then the brakes stripped off to paint the hubs

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303312.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303313.jpg

did try and and get a pic of the shortened chargecooler rad but its ubber blury

[Martin]

nice one luke..

[Spudly]

That head looks mint luke, you seriously got some skills:thumb:

[burgo]

thats only a quick fettle

[burgo]

another quick update

head is now built up after nick lapped all the valves in

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303318.jpg

being as i have the steadier hand out of us i hand painted the "turbo" bit on the cross over pipe and "efi" bit on the inlet

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303317.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303316.jpg

that'll do for now lol

[16v Nova Kev]

it will be running by the end of the week

[Spudly]

Good work luke i for one cant wait to see it boosting:thumb:

[burgo]

as soon as ive got the charge cooler plumbing done tomorrow then there should be a big surge of work again as we've got everything for the engine and picking up the brakes so im guessing midweek it should be done

[Spudly]

Awesome work lad thats mint, keep us informed wont you, please:thumb:

[Steve]

Well done luke, you're really cracking on with it. Mid week? go for it! :d

[burgo]

this thing is a bludy nightmare lol everything we try and do something has to be modified. anywhos some pics of how it is now

head on, torqued down and timed up :)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303319.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303320.jpg

we then had to modify the front panel more to move the rads abit further forward. we also had to undo the back gearbox mount to get the turbo in

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303321.jpg

with that in the actuator was pretty much in the rad still lol. so i had to "modify" the actuator bracket and it all "just" fits. can see the need for uprated engine mounts and an engine damper tho

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303323.jpg

[twistysnovagte]

coming on nice now pal,fair play to you with the work your doing to make it work spot on fella.
i just want to see a vid or two on its first start up run out:d

[burgo]

coming on nice now pal,fair play to you with the work your doing to make it work spot on fella.
i just want to see a vid or two on its first start up run out:dwell we plan to having it turning over tomorrow and running wednesday. providing some things actually bolt on as they should and not need modifying any more lol

[Spudly]

Feck me man youre steaming on with this one, fair play dude.

I hope youre gonna take regular pics of the car once finished otherwise we wont have any naughty car p0rn to look at lol

[burgo]

well we hopefully already have a buyer for it but i will take pics whilst it belongs to nick

[burgo]

just wanted to see what it should look like end of tomorrow :P

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303324.jpg

[Ben]

Why is he selling it straight off?

[burgo]

because hes been offered half decent money for it

[saloonwoody]

i remember seein this on ph , sounded good but who knew ! great work there burgo ;)

[joeSRI]

because hes been offered half decent money for it

will it be good money after you take your labour cut? lol

[burgo]

got loads of wiring done today. basically all the is left is connect the main power lead, make and earth lead and the tidy up the wiring that goes under the engine. so if nick hadnt thrown the bludy spark plugs away we could of had it running tomorrow and still might. it'll be ready to start tomorrow anyway :)

anywhos not exactly great pics but this is of the only wiring coming to the engine which will be hidden by the inlet manifold

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303325.jpg

and this is where i placed the dash in to see where i had space for the ecu and map sensor and stuff

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303326.jpg

nick also stripped out the back today as we found it had mk3 rear seats cable tied in!!!!!!!!

[Steve]

cable ties!! honestly how the fook did that even have an MOT on it? Good days work otherwise.

[burgo]

inlet bolted on and wired up

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303328.jpg

the interior all basically back together aswell

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/S7303329.jpg

we also got it turning over today to check for oil pressure and thats allllll good :) brum brum tomoz hopefully

[Adam]

Bay looks cool!

[scott.parker]

Awesome!

Love this, as it's bringing back memories, like i say my first car was pretty much the same as this (color/model wise)
Then my second car was a 8v cvh XR2i lol so unreliable it was...

[Spudly]

Spot on work luke you are a star worker, i love this thread........

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/th_S7303330.jpg (http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/?action=view&current=S7303330.flv)

now you might notice its a tad loud, this is where the fun began. started by checking all the exhaust studs, check turbo to manifold and downpipe bolts. try again and still the same, hmmmm confuzzled.

this is when we discover that the manifold is up against one of the bolts which bolts on the breather blanking plate :mad: not good. to remove this bolt and insert a shallow head allen bolt we had to do the following

undo the drivers side mount
undo the rear gearbox bolts
lossen the front one
push the engine back slightly
undo the oil return hose
undo a water hose
undo all the exhaust studs and then with a tiny little 8mm spanner undo the fooking bolt

so then fit the little allen bolt and bolt everything back together and we have clearence on the bolt. must be ok now then :), start it up, still a tractor:confused: fook.

this is where i discover the manifold is up against a little sticky out bit on the block!!! bollocks, cue the above procedure to remove the turbo so i can get the grinder in to trim back the sticky outy bit. ground down all bolted up clearence on the block woop. try again deffinetly sorted now

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/th_S7303333.jpg (http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/mk2%20turbo/?action=view&current=S7303333.flv)

ahhhhhh feck feck feck feck. now it clears the pissing block it is now up against the fooking allen bolt again!!!!!!! ****. time to scrap the crappy pissy blanking plate and get a core plug. that will be saved for tomorrow

end of the day tho she runs and sweetly to :) woop woop

[Spudly]

Fcuking awesome luke you sir are a proper legend, i love this car and i hope youre gonna swipe it from your mate and keep it lol
