tony what did you do about fuel for your inlet?
i have same problem as you fella as there isnt a lot of room lol
did you go for a banjo bolt?
also how did you connect up your V6 TB mate?
On the end of the fuel rail ,if you have it in front of you on the right side, you should have a pipe welded on the end,for the one under the fuel blanking plate(cant remember the name),you can .leave that like that,with the hole as you go into your fpr the to that,if that sounds rightQuote:

well took the car up to where it had to go on saturday,got up at 6 to get the garage for half 7,dont do rushing lol,put a few bits on it as didnt fancy the petrol tank bashing around in the car,so got that done,then my mate turned up with his pickup to load the car up at half 8,then a double check on all the bits that needed taking was quiet alot there,didnt realise lol,then off we went,2 and a half hours later we arrived at his house,was starving could of ate a horse,but burger king was the nearest i could get lol,had a chat for abit then went into his workshop,was like a palace you could eat your dinner off the floor,plus the size of the place,me and my mate was amazed of the size of his workshop bloody massive,then it was time to head back didnt fancy the trip back tho,felt pretty said leaving the nova,with it sitting there looking sorry for itself,will see how he gets on with it and keep you all updated thats it for now
Glad to hear you have found somewhere that will finish it for you mate, soooo many people are full of faulse promises :roll: the more I think about selling mine, the more I think about keeping it lol may just garage it and do a few little bits over the winter :confused:
i am glad too mate so many messesrs around but ay thats the thing of today,dont sell it mate,just put it away do your bits you wanna do then enjoy it again lol,you will regret it if you doQuote:
