All the offers were muchly appreciated, just goes to show what great people we have on here, unfortunately I can't have everyone on site as I will be hung from the rafters if the bosses find out. It's a hush hush hidden away out the back on a need to know basis but I will remember everyone who was willing and I will always try to return the favours. Much love xxx

Bloody good day out, quite productive I think from Auto to very nearly manual in a day is one hell of an achievement, albeit much of the hard work was done by Neal before the "Big Guns" arrived!
As always pleased to catch up with you Neal, Carl and James.
Car cranked over nicely and had pressure to the fuel system, as James says a couple of small bits left, air box, battery box, intercooler pipework and the front panel to re-fit and its pretty much there.
Linkage and clutch all working a tested too, what a job that was... took 7 attempts to bleed the clutch!
A few pictures anyhow:

The "Project" in question, everything coming nicely into place.
Will a 5.0 Supercharged V8 fit in place of the T5 lump? Probably not...
Smithy couldnt wait as always... tried to explain after attempt 6 that you cant simply pee into the bleed bottle!
Nearly there... true team effort

Yeah he did! Oh but I didnt point out he was two and a half hours late nearly and when he arrived it would appear me and Neal had been doing everything wrong!
On a less jovial note it was a real advantage to have so much "Volvo" experience in one shed, certainly sped things up and no doubt as a result all will result in a positive finish in the next few days.
