Well today felt a very emotional day but also a brilliant day as today for me was d day and I finally heard my car run for the first time since 2006 wooooooo hoooooo a small fueling problem to sort on the adjustable regulator as the engine was basically seizing up with the amount of fuel going in and I believe the fpr has been set from factory massively high as the pressure gauge was reading more than 9 psi on initial start and just flooding the engine to a stand still but hopefully now I'm well on cause to have the car finished by the end of this month
Will update more pics next week when the seats are in and interior completely finshed
well its been a while since i updated this thread but all is going well now with my car and i am so close now to having it finished and fit for the road
this is what i have left before its ready
adjust fpr as its over fuelling
have screen fitted on tuesday and fit wiper arm
get exhaust made and fitted
fit new snap off boss and s/wheel
adjust front coilovers and lower back of car
fit gaiter round gear stick
adjust gear linkage to get 5th gear
and finally check oil drain from turbo as it has a slight leak
and finally some pics of how it looks so far promise ill wash it soon

yet to use as this was built for me, i think brigsy my problem lies with the fpr as i forgot to set itand only noticed it flying past 9psi when it was to late as the car fired up instantly. Thank fully it flooded and shut off after 1-2 seconds of running so no damage should have been done to the bores will fire it up again on tuesday and let you know the outcome mate
cheers james for the comments mate really looking forward to getting the car to some meets now this year looks like i've timed it right with the weather at the mo

Ah i see mate, the carb wont like 9psi, drop it down to 4 psi for run in
yes mate hopefully will be well run in for national day if i dont find any major probs, hopefully on tuesday i would have it running again with the fpr set this time lolAh i see mate, the carb wont like 9psi, drop it down to 4 psi for run in
