Went to prime the engine up the other week king lead off as i always do to get Fuel, Oil, Coolant ect round. A was going well oil pressure building. Then herd what I thought was coolant draining out onto the floor. How wrong was I turns out the braided fuel lines had perished inside and had pin holes in them fuel spraying everywhere. Decided I'd get some new fuel lines made up this time round got onto hel preformance and had 3 ptfe lined braided hoses made up. Thought awesome get them fitted and prime the engine up again ready for it's first start. 👌... Nope wasn't to be fuel pump has now deci -
Still a quicker time than me haha. Will it ever not be a project. Make use of it while the weather is okish.

Decided that today was the day I was getting the engine back in. I've put my broken but working box on just so I can run the engine in. Manage to get in the bay today. Next week I'll button every thing up. Won't be long till it's first start. -

Slowly making my way through my list of jobs. Cheers nick. -

Decied it was time i got some proper lifts for the car as the jack and axel stands were doing my head in. Decided on a set of kwik lifts much safer imo. So much easier to get it up in the air now.
