You get to keep most of the tools so you can't include them.

Some of the parts list are service items so you can't include them.

Some of the parts are upgrade mods so you can't include them either.

So the worst bit is the £900 recovery.

Once it's on the road it'll be worth every euro cent.

[Jason04r]

True about the parts but still required to get it in the road . Tomorrow's completion day so I can insure for Monday , mot it and enjoy the dam thing

Cars all in one piece now. Actually nice to see with bumpers and a bonnet after 2 months of bareness

Started her up but she sounds extremely P*ssed off , sounds so loud for some reason . could it be the fact i don't have the air filter on? Also sounds very tight if you understand that meaning. Ran for about 10 seconds before i switched it off in-case it was damaging itself...

I could upload a video of the engine running for you to hear , see if i can sort it before my dad comes round on the weekend haha

Check all the manifolds are done up properly, inlet and the collector.
