Nearly another month or so has passed and.........
I'm still no nearer getting the car back on the road, well, in its current state anyway.
I've had a major change or plan which, whilst I'm still up for the turbo idea, is proving to be a complete pita, so for the moment, I'm going to get a 3.9 and chuck that it, and get the twin turbo unit on the bench (have to make one first!!!) and have a rethink - probably single turbo mounted on the passenger side (but fed by all eight cylinders - in case you were wondering!).
It just so happens that, having spent the last month or so on the lookout for a complete Range Rover or similar - which were usually several hundred miles away, and untaxed/motless, I found a pleaseant chap fairly local who's broken a complete 3.9 RR that he was going to use for a project.
Needless to say, a quick call ensued and a "BIN" on the bay took place. Not only am I to get a 3.9 with ECU, loom, fuel pump etc etc - I will also have a load of RR running gear that I'll need to sell; a) as I don't want/need it and, b) will get some money back from.
So that's put me in a slightly more positive frame of mind - looks like I'll be busy next weekend:)
Anyway, if all goes to plan, some more updated next week, with pics and smiles and happiness all round:D
Till then.
