Ready for start up / run in
I think the term is squeaky bum time !!!
And it was squeaking !
Wont let me upload start up vid for some reason but its on the photo bucket page , if you want to see .
It all went well but my heart was in my mouth , I felt sick as a pig , but was a great feeling when it didn't rattle itself apart !
Time for the twins

Time to get it in the van
Moustache bar issues , you can probably see its slightly tipsy ( pissed)
Vs Exhaust to brighten things up
Hangers are the issue , they've been "manipulated " but really need cutting out and new put in

Was getting a lot of heat transfer from exhaust
my rear valance is part metal original (rear part) front is fabricated , note the late bay engine seal as no channel for correct one and gap
not right , late bay one works a treat though .
heat shield installed( stuck on) has helped massively but silly expensive for what it is
I aslo installed industrial tinware , above J tubes/below pushrods with heatshield as well
First run out I got Robbo down in his 23 window to ride shotgun .
Done approx 4 miles stalled it , didn't want to start , but did in the end , stopped for 15 minutes as was really hot . ( the engine not me )
I felt sick , proper schoolboy nervous sick excited , can't really explain it , Robbo was laughing at me , I just wanted to throw up !!
Oil Pressure light was on dipstick hot , but got home and all was well , even though I was nursing it low reviving , had so much more power !
but that was that for the day , Beer!!! was needed .
Then after too many beers found these on ebay !
Needed a clean up but came up nice
Got wheels and rear bumper back from paint shop
Forgot to show oil filter for those that like that kind of thing !

So kept having random break downs , was driving me divvy .
broke down on A3 60 mph road no hard shoulder , not sure how the van (or I survived was really dodgy
Posted a few questions both here and the samba ,
consensus was something in fuel tank
so.......
engine out again ( although its much easier now , ands doest faze me at all )
Tank Out
Debris inside tank , gauze filter had broken away
However , Something stuck inside tank and curled up , had welded itself next to outlet
the offending article , seems to be a bit of a plastic bottle wrapper ! Bloody thing has driven me mad with fuel starvation / random break downs that then clear themselves . touch wood all has been fine since removed .
