Thanks mate, yeah it has been a long time in the process..

Probably because I have had other external influences on my time at the moment....

I am hoping to have the motor in the car within a fortnight now, no ifs no buts...

Well boys and girls, after what seems like an eternity, I will finally sit the motor back in the bay this weekend...

These are the last pics on the stand, I am picking up some 90 degree dash 10 fittings to replace the straight ones on the throttlebody for the air reg and idle control gear..







Cheers

Even I like it . Come on man, make the thing go. Don't let me finish another car before you get this thing in yours and running . So many CA treats; so little time to enjoy them.

Dont I know you from somewhere? lol

Yeah a little bit, you would think if they had sold the place earlier they would give you some more warning..

But we have found another place which is really good, only 15 mins away too in kenmore..

But still, at least I will have everything ready to rock n roll before moving, but the tuning side of things will still be some weeks away..
