In for a bit of attention ...I had a space on the drive for a blue one .....Don't mention owt to Dawn , she can't count , so my bullocks should be safe .It has a few early production quirks that may interest those with a certain dress sense :lol:

Out and ready to strip down .

Turrets are fine

Abit of a rub down and paint and good to go .Just shows that age is not always an issue .

All stripped out and blasted ready to paint .
Next on the list is engine refurb with cams ,turbo ,bigger injectors and ECU mod .

I think we've had something nesting at some point :lol:

The bumper is getting replaced yes, but the nosecone is perfectly okay (despite what the pics above appear to show) - the plastic and duct tape was purely a plaster over the smashed lens to get me up to RATS.

Lee: Looking ace, and loving the pics

Lord knows what had made a nest in there, surprised it never caught fire the way I rag that engine.

... with this last few weeks at work, completely forgot about the ecu... I put it away safe :lol:

...sorry chap, will refocus my mind.

Are you ok on sorting the tub ot actuator?

I wasn't shouting ECU :lol:

I think I have a few actuators on various mounts .I'll have to check the parts bin .
Have lots more to get on with before chasing that particular component .Various shades of etch prime .....
