Nice!

Really looking forward to how this one turns out, last time I saw it a couple of weeks ago there was just a big hole under the bonnet where an engine should be!

Looking forward to running it up against the Vitty when it's done, too, heheh.

Proof at last

Well done mate

Oddly enough, to my ears, it doesn't sound like a T16?

no downpipe

sounds like it burst's into life nice enough

Thanks chaps

Well after a couple of head scratching moments today, she finally fired up

Had to do do a couple of wiring bodges that a certain co. would be proud of, I hasten to add it was only to fault find, now they been found wiring has been done properly

I can assure everyone that it is a T16 in there and NOT a diesel, I think not having a downpipe on there may be something to do with it

nearly all plumbed in now, just header tank to go back in, fit the exhaust, get driveshafts in and gear selector back on, and hopefully it may even move too

Is there an elbow on it or is the turbo open? crazy sod

There was an elbow on there leo. Rastlin its funny you say that about it not sounding like a T16 as when we first fired it she sounded more scooby like than T16.
Oh and rob what is this couple of bodges??? I counted at least 20 wires jammed in various holes and it was top class LC wiring and you should have just left it like that ROFL
