Hows it all running now?
Guess you sorted the engine support bar problem :D
 
it's running very well ,i f*$king love it !!!!!! it sooo mad launching a camper van off the lights ! i took off the fully merged header as it didn't give enough ground clearance and got a stainless 4-1 header and turbo muffler from vw speedshop and replaced the "modified" (read cut to pieces) brace bar, am hoping to get it rolling roaded in the next few weeks, hope to meet at the shows this year and do a bit down the pod. all the best steve
