    Lots of good work Peter! Hope it's worth all the hard work you're putting in. Would've been much easier if you'd just went that 2lt lump that you sold. But easier is no where near as cool Retro spec mk1

    Cheers Jordan,
    I hate saying this, as you get older you really enjoy your cars to run smooth and quiet but still be able to have bucket loads of power under your right toes to turn tires.

    Trust me dude, I considered dropping the 2l with the jenvey's and a 288.

    Picked this up a couple of years back. Think I might use it on the mk1?

    Ok, so the other night George dropped in and we decided to have a go at cranking the motor over to see what happens.

    Yeeeep..... After about 20min of identifying and twirling some wires together she fired up and ran like a clock. We had to shut it down after about 30 seconds due to no radiator fitted as yet.

    Super exited to finish the wiring off and cooling system now.
