No nappies for the first session but the jizzmop will be on standby :D
Remind me to be careful how I open the glovebox if I get a lift sometime :?

Looking good :)

You like that huh? Here is some more of last nights work, just not as big. EGR purge valve and CVC valve ;) Now no longer used due to the ATR manifold.

Also here is my front and rear engine mounts with Energy Suspension poly inserts. The gearbox mount is being Sikaflex filled:

Yup to match the gold gearbox and intake manifold.


Give it a few days and it will be finished and hopefully installed on Saturday :D We are going to have an installation ceremony, recite a few haiku's, bless the parts before they go in, drink some green tea and bow a lot :lol:
