Looking good John, BTW wheres your rear fog I guess it must be part of the cluster ?. Someone must have taken time and trouble and expense to do that.

Cheers

John,

Its taken bl$$dy ages to download these pictures via steam modem. However well worth the wait.

A superb restore job done by your Wax man. Goes to show that cleaning a car can put loads of value on it.

Just a small point; I note that there are a fair few fins bent on your turbo intercooler. You probably need to do something about these as bent fins reduce the efficiency of the intercooler and can put your turbo under strain, especially on something this quick. Maybe a new intercooler with a protective shield is where you want to go. Don't skimp on it.

I know you had shedloads of hassle to get this far but it proves the adage that everything happens for a reason. What a beautiful car.

Congratulations, enjoy it.

Regards

WB

Thanks WB.

I think i know a thing or two about getting the engine working well. Thanks for the info though, it's good advice!

P.S I modded the thread to help non Broadband users, some muppet then moved it.

Yep, i think i did OK in the end, i was VERY lucky indeed!

I want Commision Mark.

Seriously, I couldnt have done as good a job in 10 times the time, thats why Mark gets paid to do this by some very exclusive collectors, he is very profesional.

Chuffed to bits with the results.
