  15. Had a bit of a nightmare this last week with it
    Clutch flywheel bellhousing issues somehow I d ended up with t25 flywheel which in turn meant a 225mm clutch not a problem until you bolt it too a 5 rib gearbox
    When everything was bolted up the clutch was tight up to the Bell Housing
    So engine was locked solid
    So I set about clearing it engine in out 10 odd times
    Once that was all good the next problem was the starter motor was locking up
    I tried different starters with no luck
    So ended up given in and getting the right
    Flywheel and a 215 mm clutch
    But with the right combo the engine is back in and turning over on the starter motor
    So back to where I was a week ago

  16. Loving your work.

    it’s enjoyable to see each instalment, and yet strangely terrifying at the same time.
