You guys gunna be there all day sat on it?

Until it's done yeh, I think it shouldn't take too long at all, only the gearbox bits (mount, clip etc) and then just the final thing putting the oil in there.

I reckon 3 hours max. Famous last words though..

Lol yeah you say 3 hours, which will end up meaning more like 5, ok cool, was just wondering cos I am deciding what to do, reckon there won't be any working on my car on sat then, so might go get a haircut...!

Finally brought the car home this evening and I must say it is gorgeous. Lovely drive down, all manor of heads turning on the way down!

Engine pulls and pulls, gear box is nice and tight, economy is also much improved, wilwoods are also great, no pedal travel whatsoever (don't know how everyone's having such a bad time with em

incorrectly bled perhaps?)

Anyways tired now and gonna hit the sack.. before I knock out though big thanks to Tommi, Ben and Andrew who's hard work and technical ability has made this project a success.

Phase 1 complete. Phase 2 will be coilovers and some different wheels.... prob in the next couple of months, just gonna enjoy the car for a lil while now.
