Looking good mate, you fitted the backbox yet?

[robz]

no, need to "modify" it a bit first haha!
just been putting the engine back together today but been rained off AGAIN!
also got something else im doing but need to wait till ive done before you can all know!!

[robz]

ok, so a busy weekend....
engine back together... yay... tried to start, no chance, lewis popped up with a charged battery... bingo, ran sweet! lots of induction noise from the new rohr pipe!
quite loud with no exhaust
so just need to finish a few bits and off for mot i go!
i started polishing the cam cover but it still needs abit doing to it!
cant wait to drive it again!!

insured as of friday!!!

Failed not on 4 emissions, front strut rusted and now cracked, and all brake pipes are nea limit! Looks like larry is gonna be sitting pretty in the garden fr a long while!
On the plus side I got the puncture repaired so i have 3 wheels the same colour

[robz]

ok, i think ive got a mental plan going...
gonna rip the 8v out... flog it for pennies then once its out im gonna get someone to weld it up for me....
then once that is done im very tempted to wait for a cheapo vr to come around as a donor and then vr it
as the mrs says we cant really afford it at the min so i would also like to smooth the bay out tooo ready for it to go in!
no point selling as i love this car and it wouldnt bring any money at all!
so its staying as a toy and ill just have to wait to get him to the shows, gutted, but i would rather this than piss the wife off, be skint and then have to sell anyway.
so... anyone want a cheap engine

[robz]

Right, think life isn't gonna let me keep this motor for much longer
Don't wanna see it go, but with work troubles and the fact I can't afford to do much it almost seems pointless owning it
So if anyone is interested then let me know
