Going to Nottingham tonight to pick up another VR6 engine so Adaptorman can use it as a jig to make a manifold from. At least I've got a spare for when i blow mine putting too much power down it ha.

Spare engine to make manifold on:

Its done 74,000 had new chain, gaskets, valves, seals everything, Quite dry as well, not as dry as the one in mine though ha. Mine was off an old man who had dry stored it for years after he writ his VR6 off, not a spec of oil on it. (probably is now I've had it though lol)

Yes mate exactly the same way as the red one. I just bought a little motor bike reservoir then what sits behind the scuttle panel. I've got a new reservoir now that can take a pipe to feed the clutch though and is probably the best option.

The list grows every day and Paypal gets a bash in, our lass is definitely going to leave me over it one day.

Ill get some pics up as soon as I've got a camera to hand. My phones from 1980's and hasn't got a camera on it pmsl.
