... thanks to mr. daverapid! who is currently in my wee country hiding from you'se 'un's and fixing my cars! some of you may remember my thread about this car having a gearbox and engine put in at the cost of £700 (and i didnt pay vat or 40% of the labour) only to get it back still as a non-runner. now she runs. and runs fast. very fast. and likes full lock in 1st gear and is due an MOT very shortly soon as i sort the brake light switch. a HUGE thankyou to dave who has made me ecstatic this week but who wont see this probably until sunday till he's returned, and slept off the jetlag and overwork

What was wrong? i'll let dave fill that in but erm, timing, wasn't too hot, but mainly fuel pump had been put on wrong, no seal made and not only killed the pump but filled the oil full of petrol and destroyed the plugs. carb wasnt set right but that was my fault cause it wouldn't run right (obviously!)
For you impman, i'm sure the boys in the SOC can sort you out with one, theres more than enough squished into everyone's gardens atm!

It's tough at the top, you know..being a superhero and all that, but I don't like to boast! :)Actually it was fairly basic stuff I sorted out, and frankly I'm horrified that a garage spent 25 hours working on the engine and gearbox without checking the oil! 8-)Damned good week tho! ;D
