I had a metallic pink SD1 3.5 bored out to 3.9 - twin SU's vastly overjetted with a pair of ridiculous Garrett lorry turbos on it.... totally undriveable without sheets of flame...
Ahh, the 80's.....
This will maybe be having the high compression 4.6 v8 out the other stage 3 heads straight cut box lsd and so on 358bhp at the wheels last time was dynod Or maybe a good enough state to reshell a rotten twin plenum thats sitting. Also a red vitesse auto

Took 3 different trains to get back to Bournemouth to go and get it off my mums drive. Took it for a quick spin to make sure everything was OK and then promptly called the RAC out again with a suspected knackered fuel pump. Luckily it was just a dodgy connection on the bullet connector. That's tomorrow's job sorted.
Also worked out why most of the water was draining out of the washer bottle, it helps if all the pipes are connected to each other. Doh
Who'd of that a Classic would have electrical gremlins.

I ought to be tiling in the kitchen but the weather is so good we have been working outside. Luckily I have the mini digger to haul the trunks out of the river.
