Whats on fire? ;)

Sometimes I wish it would set on fire.

On a different note, I picked up a new, well secondhand driver's side front window and mechanism, another radiator and a "good" second hand turbo.

Hopefully these will be fitted by Sunday and a full service so I can use the car for work on Monday after a good road test......this could be fun.
 
Turbo is out and I'm going to bed, round two tomorrow I think....

Well unfortunately the fairies didn't fix the car but they did manage to mess up the cd player in the garage, bastard's.
 
After last night's rain I decided that it was probably time to put the driver's window and new second hand window regulator in the car so I have done that, next on the list is heater matrix o-rings and blend motors and I have got to wait for the man to message me about picking upthe MAF and crank sensor so I can finish it off.

Did you got new chains, tensioners?

A lot of work done here with no pics or updates to see what went wrong, did you take any??

No, a lot of work was done at night as it's the only time I can get free from the house, I do try and take pictures as much as possible.

When I pull the engine out to properly rebuild it I'll try and do a time lapse video of it, I'm sort of hoping I'll be put on furlough so I can get the time to do everything I need to during the day and not rush
 
Looks like a universal one to me, ive been looking at them to fit on mine get them for about £80 instead of £470 for the made to measure one.

Not sure it’s worth it. Piercy has huge one with the rads swapped about, with standard turbo I’d guess it would increase lag
£80 not too bad
