Bit of good news tonight, popped to the lock up to drop the manifold off the engine, it's a 30 minute job but involves removing the charger and engine mount.

I was told the engine was fitted with stage 4 charger but i was also told everything bar seats and cards were there to build it haha

So popped the charger off and took the outlet off



Looks brand new, looked at the charger and is indeed a stage 4 by jabba, is also brand new rebuild never run :)





Still got assembly grease in there :)



Took some pics of the 14" bbs ra with new tyres popped them on ebay for £120 and by the time i got out the bath they'd sold :)

Thanks Andy, it was a real shame about the shell, the was no rot whatso ever. 1 or 2 crusty bits but nothing rusted out. If i had more time i'd have cut it up so others could use bits.

Been quite a good day, got a few bits done

First was the 4 branch



Supercharger bracket required a little off



But got it on in the end



I will need to move runner 2 in slightly as it'll be in the way of my new outlet when i make it



Found this in the shed :)



And salvaged the cup from the gold one yesterday so popped it on



Gave the omp system a wipe over



And popped it on



Next was the coils and brakes



Popped the wing off for some adjustments



To find the lip had been rolled and sealed :)



Passenger side before and after





Rears on too



While i was under there seemed to have been coated everywhere with something



And again rear arch have been rolled, smoothed and sealed :)





Back on it's wheels



Started on some more loom but after couple of hours downed tools and called it a day

Loving your build chap, makes me wonder if I should have gone G40 instead of G60 due to the extra room lol

Where did you find your OMP group A Inox exhaust!!! I've been on the hunt with no joy :(

I want that rally rasp sound :)
