OK so today didn’t quite go as expected. After getting let down with the borrowing of an engine hoist I had a long trip at early o’clock to a friend of a friend who offered to lend me his.

The day just went from bad to worse, I dropped the ball completely and didn’t have all the engine mounts so the engine is in the bay but not mounted.



We did get the clutch in and gear box on, Kr cams in, timing belt on and set up, a small consolation I suppose.

On a positive note I collected my wheels from the local TNT depot...........



Oops did I leave the covers on..........

Thank you to the Big Man, Lee and Mikey for lending a hand 2day
