Looks a lovely example Jim. Hard to find with mileage like that now.

It's the P1 getting the 2.1 build. Shouldn't be long now.

I'm the same as you Jim. My car is in there just now. I went on the feedback from on here and a recommendation from braveheart. Steve is a top bloke. I'm very happy I put the car into SW.

Good luck at TOTB Chris. What did you do with your old catch tank? as my car is up at SW and a catch can is on my to get list

Hawkeye looks good as it is. Plus the spoiler will be worth a fair bit and will sell fast on here, scoobynet etc.

Not good news about the rb5 shell. But 2 door will look good, widebody?

Ive noticed on a few threads this seems to be a running joke between you both

Will ring Steve later on in the week to see where we are at. Think its getting a base map put on it for running in on Simtek. My dad said it was pretty dusty when he was up, as i expected, its been sitting inside for a good few weeks now. At least it hides the couple of rust spots on it. Those will be getting dealt with once i get the car back. If i can ever stop driving it haha.

I certainly am Frank. Shouldnt be to long now, then need to run it in. I will have that done in no time tho

When it worked out as good as it did, we had a look on ebay at how much the manifolds go for. Trouble is there are that many different types. Does anyone know what types there are and what to look for?

Cheers guys. It really does look good. I couldnt stop laughing when he told me where it was. I phoned for a report on how it was going, he replied "its cooking on the barby for an hour" haha

Just thought i would share this with you. I cant take any credit for it unfortunetly. My dad enjoys these types of projects so i was quite happy to let him get on with it While the engine is stripped i thought it best to get the manifold stripped and freshened up. It was in the usual sorry state, paint flaking off etc My dad followed this guide which is very helpful http://www.carldavey.co.uk/article.php?id=1 The manifold was stripped using Nitromors and pressure washed, which left it looking like this We decided to go for the VHT in wrinkle black (seems to be the choice now the red is more orange in colour) The dilema was how to heat it up, a heat gun would take to long and he didnt fancy putting it in the oven for obvious reasons. Then a brainwave struck him . . . This worked a treat and the manifold looks great again. Unfortunetly he was so proud of his work and admired it that much that he forgot to take a finished article picture. Nevermind, it looks brilliant and i will get a picture of it once its back on the car. Cheers Dan

Looks a nice car. This the one off pistonheads? Ayrshire area?

You've nothing to be jealous of Kosy, your car looks amazing!

Yes it will be. Looking forward to getting it back, run in and mapped. Then i will change my sig

Forged 2.1. I cant remember the exact spec (even though Steve has rattled it off to me a few times), i know its in good hands tho.

Yes mate, i had the originals powder coated silver, i think it looks so much better now. My car is in at SW just now getting an engine build done.

Brilliant pics. I always think the P1 looks best with silver wheels.

Do they have a local Scout group up there? The scouts down this way are always cooking up mean burgers etc when there is gala day, holy fair type stuff on. Could be worth asking them.

I've got one at the house if your still needing it cheers Dan

Brilliant write up as usual. You were going well all day. Well done to both you and Fee and good luck with the rest of the season
