Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Hey Jord aka fOxy.

New to this forum, and just read this entire thread.
I really want to give you the credit you deserve.
I can´t belive you havent gone nutz and split open something with an axe yet. If I had so much bad luck in such a short time, I know i would have been down that road.

You are the DIY zen meister :star: :hail:

Best of luck!!!

My phone call last night was worth it TBH... "I can see my torch through the inlet valve"

"Oh dear, that's not good"

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

good to hear mate, and all in time for oulton park tomorrow!

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Started early today, just bolting stuff back together....

Nice and cold as usual...

Got it all back together by about lunchtime, then jump started it off another car, fired up first time....thank god!

Sounded like it was running perfect, so took it for a spin round the block with no bumper or bonnet on....

All good! Put everything else back on, then nipped up to a local garage to have the exhaust sorted, was blowing badly....

Then had a bit of a mini meet with a member off here...

Didnt think i would end up getting it ready for oulton, but it drives nice, finally something went right!
