Cheers Shane!

Santorini is such a great colour. I’m so glad I changed from Java.

The bumper is from Uproar 4x4. Mine is the first one that went out to the public, and it’s still mint! Charlie

Well, the 90 is all finished now. The final issues were:
- Weak heater blower (resolved with new fan switch);
- Oil leak from top of turbo (just a loose oil feed pipe);
- Excessive crankcase pressure (hard intake pipe hadn't been drilled for the vent pipe!!!!!!!).

Should be ready for collection in the next few days!

Collected it last night, and she drives beautifully. The new turbo needs setting up so I didn’t drive it hard.

The only post-rebuild issues I’ve found are:
- Oil pressure gauge reading all over the place (dodgy connection/sensor?);
- Water temp sensor was reading 95-115°C the whole time (reading high or running too hot? Nanocom tests later);
- Headlights are pointing at the stars and everyone was flashing me

Well done, looking great and you must be so stoked to have her on the road again.

Yep I’m thrilled!

My passenger side repeater disappeared on way home. Not seen that before . . .
