Update pics and vid (hopefully)

[Djw Dave]

Ok so the bonnets back on and have now managed to get the powersteering working properly. Question how much P/s fluid does a Mk1 take?? Its using an rsi bottle and pump but a Rt rack.

Heres a quick vid. Sounds poo at the moment but remember this engine hasnt run for over 9 months so its allowed to sound off. Still lots to do but its getting there.

Roll on FCS 07

 

[Djw Dave]

Ok so that IS the WORST vid ever.



But you all get the idea.

No worries! Basically start off with coarse sandpaper and work your way down to finer stuff, thats no where near finished and doubt it ever will be tbh!

I want a Bailys header tank but deer (IMO) for what they are. ill set one at some point this year.

Approx bhp will be 160-165

Pick up from turbo is at 3k approx.
