Whipped some TB's together. Plated hardware, new bushes, shafts and butterflies in as new shape so re-used them. All new springs we had made to original spec.

015 pump modifed with RS cam. S stacks, New coil, new alternator, new injectors, rebuilt 915, new engine mountings etc, new rear box, new clutch, new drvieshafts.

The wiring was a nightmare, it had been modified half way down the loom, so I removed it and checked it all out. Wiring started one colour at the front and ended up a totally different colour at the back. tested every wire and reinstalled.

Got some oil flowing, primed the fuel pump, bit of fuel down the stacks, plugged the king and she burst into life almost instantly. Great oil pressure and very happy considering no set up. When i've finished the rest of the car she'll go off to have engine set up properly before the MOT.

Amazing what you can get done in a couple of weeks. Why did it take me 3 years to start?!
