Thanked 38 Times in 27 PostsWell to be honest i'm amazed i've got as far as I have.
When I started this morning, the engine wasn't ready to start, there was no plumbing from the turbo to the charge cooler, no exhaust, no fluids in it, no rear brakes, no distributor or coil, no ECU connected, no interior, no seats, no engine cover, no rear bumper etc...
And the MOT was at 3pm.
Amazingly I made it:
After a bit of cranking with no plugs in to get the oil pressure up, the engine started pretty much straight away, although had a pretty big fuel leak, note to self, remember to do up the bolts holding the injector rail on, petrol damages paint on freshly painted engine bits too
Amazingly it sailed through the MOT, just had to add a cable tie to a brake flexi as it was a bit close to the wheel.
Then when I got back from the MOT it was time to wash it, clean it, fit some more interior parts and make it semi presentable for the show tomorrow.
Needless to say, i'm now shattered.
To give you an idea of how much has been done in the last few days, the car looked like this on Thursday morning:
