Mindf*ck is loving it, although being on holiday for the last 2 weeks means she's feeling a bit unloved. I have some jobs to do on the MOT side (bit of welding, align headlights, replace an anti-roll bar link etc.) then I'll be looking at some other stuff (clutch master / slave may be on way out; vented frunk, etc. etc.).
So all good but a lack of time has meant few miles and fair to do list!
Pics as promised, i still have to remove the orange marker paint from the plenum...
Sexy motor, I have a semi just looking at the motor, your doing a great job mate that is sexy silver paint on there looking uber cool.
Because my motor has no ac pump do you have to get a custom length drive belt for the alternator or is the ac driven of a separate flange off the bottom pulley?

Well my car has successfully past it's mot with just 3 advisories and those are mechanical a leaking back shock which are being replaced any way as part of the conversion, offside front anti roll bar has slight play in the ball joint, will have to get mr woods to sort that one out pretty please.
And the last one was a slight leak from the oil cooler rubber pipe of the engine which I'm not arsed about as that's being done with the engine yay.
Can you put the old 4age engine on a pallet and either I or a shipping company can pick it up Paul when you've dropped it out as I may stick it back in the sherwood toning after I've had a play at welding it up.
Consider it done Tiggs.
good luck with the swap Paul, I'm excited for you as well Tiggs!
Aye, it's gonna be another special one this.
Double beefing everything up to be Tiggs proof?
All the best with work Tiggs.
