should be singing by next weekend, if not earlier.

ill sort all the niggly stuff tommorow connect the driveshafts and go for a quick drive

Well done!

[GoLfMan]

Well done!

thanks mate, dnot quite time for drinks all round just yet, got to sort out all the niggles

[GoLfMan]

UPDATE!
running on 4 cylinders but more niggles are presenting themselves but that is expected.

got one of the driveshafts in, but the RHS inner CV joint is knackered so a new one is required along with a rocker cover gasket cos its leaking oil when the car runs.

the temp gauge works but until i have the CV replaced and the like i cant test if it will overheat on a drive.

here's a teaser on borrorwed wheels

i cant say im liking the ride height atm, needs to be alot lower



but if anyone knows where i can get some bottlecaps let me know!

Goodwork in getting it going.

I`d roadtest it with a flogged cv and an oil leak and see what else needs fixing, then come home and make it great.
