Default Newage alternator needed... Borrow or sale?

Well guys, the Bomber lives.

Big thanks to Simon (JGM) for his time this morning. Shes now equiped with a Syvecs S6 and with a few little issues sorted fired up pretty good.

Our only casualty at present is a dead alternator which is obviously stopping us setting up her base map as the car is just dragging power from the battery. Hopefully a new alternator and we should be good to go.
Engine sounds really nice and is particularly quiet, fuel and oil pressure good too.

Its not over till the fat lady sings, but i can sure say that its a huge weight off my mind to hear her running and feels a bit overwhelming to finally be here after 3 years.

Power should be 500+ on vpower. 550+ on meth.

Turbo spins after the motor shuts off due to the ball bearing core.

Well i thought id add some pics now shes basically complete.

Did a little refurb on the replacment alternator. Dont worry, just paint and yes i have tested it since lol. Also added the strap to the back of the alternator.




Also having owned the car for 7 years, id never got round to buying any bonnet dampers lol. So finally got a set of these.



And some random shots of the car now she looks like a car once more
