Well almost 4 years after Yaseen left his damaged slicktop TT shell at my place it fired up in its new NA guise. Only on 3/4 cylinders cos it still has the same petrol in it!:blink:

And the engine fitted at the moment has been sitting around as long or longer than the car, much of the time outside.

However it was a happy moment and Im sure some new fresh petrol , plug clean and a check on some (probably green ) injector connectors will have it up on 6 cylinders.

The engine itself was fully 100% OK and tested before I removed it from its last shell all those years ago.

 

Woohoo!!:nana2::nana2:

Ace . Will be nice to hear it when the real engine goes in :)

Well done, Its a great feeling when they fire up !!! :thumbup1:

LOL!!! You must be reading my mind! I have just been looking back at the damage pics and some when it was on the jig.

Then we could hardly get the bloody thing on the trailer cos of them wide wheels:huh:

Good to here another zed brought back to life and a rare slicktop:clap:

i recognise that, i had the bonnet and nose pannel off it

LOL! It was a lovely motor before that lampost jumped out and hit it. I helped Yaseen strip the car after I brought it back to my house from Jeffs old place in Tamworth.

I only had the stripped rolling shell . yaseen sold all the good stuff from it and you were obviously one of the buyers.

I subsequently re panelled it from several breakers I bought over the following 3 years.
