bit accurate lol
not sure how fitting the engine and getting it running is only 7% tho lol
lol that's what i thought. but from the amount of work that hes put into it recently, the 7% is probably still quite a percentage of the projectQuote:

Tell him to get a move on lol
i'll tell him lol. hes at his dads this week, so probably wont get much done, unless he goes home
Been home every day apart from Tuesday..
Right that 7% is to get the engine shafts, loom mounts, etc connected, the easiest part.
Engine is waiting to go in but can't go in until I get a bolt which is on order for the drivers side mount!
Will have it running by saterday hopefully and (fingers crossed) Tax and tested and nearly done by the mid week :D
Any more progress on this dan or you been busy ? did u get the 1.7 sorted ?
Pretty much donem bar boost piping, iv'e had a lot of problems recently...
will be done this weekend

Any updates on this pal?
Well engine is stripped and ready for paint, I have loads of things planned for it...
You will all see at PV11.. Whens shes hopefully around the 130Bhp mark :)
130bhp... nice
I'll race you on the quarter mile dan :thumb:
You still want this fuel tank dan?
Yeah alright connor, what engine arte you goin to have?
Yes still need the tank, how much did you want for it ?
Will have a 1.6 8v on bike throttle bodies and other bits, not sure what bhp it will run and not bothered tbh, but i should running it down the quarter mile as i will be intrigued what it will runQuote:

No really clued up on the different size injectors etc, seeing as all my cars have been carbed :cool: :wtf:
Oh and will be run on megasquirt :p
Its being done as a project at uni so will involve lots of calculations and have to make the manifolds on solidworks first :cry: should be fun though :d
awesome :) Yeah think the standards would do... maybe up the fuel pressure a bit though
none of the pics are working :(
Guess they have all been moved in Photobucket, it screws up the links if you put them in folders etc, or delete them for that matter.
hope your getting there with this matey!! will have to sort a meet in lincoln out!!
Ohh i thought there was an update :cry:
We have had some progress..
My head and blocked are as straight as a bannana :)
I have a new engine which has been stripped and clean... requires painting
and am going to smooth the bay before refitting so it looks perfect..
Interior I want to de-pin the doors and fit remote central locking.. I want some recliening buckets and a custom rear bench (half leather I think)
Thats about it... Might even fit Nos for PV11
Cheers Dan
Whats the current engine spec of yours dan? Been reading a few 1.5td tuning guides after seeing you have 104bhp, quite interesting
Well it had 2 turns in on the max fuel screw.. no actuator connected and the white ring removed.. would sit at 25psi in top gear pulling very hard..
Any way that were last summer am now on to bigger and better things :)

Here is a long deserved update!!
Any way engine mount bolt broke in july.. here is the engine when I started to remove it!
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...DSC00402-1.jpg
Well after removing the engine I found I lot of rot.. I mean front panel, arches, inner wings and stut tops were cracked, Outriggers etc etc...
I cut it all out and fitted a new front panel and plated the inner wings, archs and made completly new outriggers from some very sturdy stuff!!
Here she is with a bit of primer :)
