Help needed !

[5teve L]

With motivation to finish my bloody car, lol.
Been so busy lately, then away last weekend, moving in a few weeks & seem to have zero motivation to finish the car now, I'm waiting on a few dowty seals & need a few nuts & bolts & it's ready to drop in but I just can't be arsed anymore, lost all enthusiasm for it :sad2:
Getting the engine from my shed to the car will be interesting enough as I need to drag it 100 yards & can't use the hoist :wasntme:
Then I have this fear the wiring is all wrong as well in the back of my mind :cooter:

I'll save you the hassle mate and buy the whole lot off you for a few hundred quid

Come on steve just think of what it will be like driving the car again in this weather just try and crack on mate a good incentive for you would be to see robbies turbo ted as he is now up and running and looks very smart

If I was closer mate and didn't have mine to finish I would be more than happy to help

That's how I did mine then a couple of us just lifted it in by hand although there was no gearbox attached.

If you get stuck in over the next couple of long weekends, then i am sure you will light at the end of the tunnel. getting the engine in is the easy part, the trouble with engine conversions is that you forget about all the silly little thing that dont fit and stuff you have to make etc.

[5teve L]

Tell me about it, need to make the downpipe yet, have a feeling I will need to remove the front panel & gearbox to get it in as well:crap:

[Gttnutter]

A skateboard/sackbarrow would help wouldn't it, James may have something kicking around?

I'll see if I can make time over the next few days, if not next week some time, even if it's a couple of eves, just want it in, if it doesn't start I'm gonna go standalone, lol.

Cheers mate, may give you a call if she won't play ball, fingers crossed though I have done the wiring ok, I just need to wire in some switched & perm lives I think.
