Doing it all again 20 years on

[Leckypete]

Will do Rob!

Well got her fired up today
Fitted harness front to back and Mark fitted Cambelt and Rad, spun her over to build oil pressure then a drop down the throat and she was away

Fitted a 2 piece prop (came with a single piece one but Mark needs that for a basic 4 door project car that doesnt have bracket for centre bearing so as mine should have had a 2 piece it was cleaned and painted and fitted to mine.

Mark also kindly donated a standard exhaust system he had, so this was painted and fitted to my RS manifold and downpipe.












Dont know if you can see smoke coming off exhaust manifold in picture?
