Hi Peeps...
Just thought I'd keep you upto date on my conversion and rebuild.
It should be done within 3-4 weeks.
Ive bought a williams engine with 83K on it with loom and ecu, also got the williams manifold and also the williams gearbox.
Im having it totally rebuilt, cleaned up/-de-gunked and painted.
It should look nice and run great when its done.
FYI, its Stan that is doing this work for me, and hes been very patient with me over my million and one questions and scenarios Ive put towards him! Top Bloke!
Hes more than willing to take on any work which you guys may want doing too (although I know many of you like to DIY it).
I get some pictures and let you know the end result and also give a full report on stans work. Cant wait for the final product to arrive!
Cheers
Mike

He owns his own company, yeah and has got a lovely, very spacious garage/unit on an industrial estate.
He's based in Swansea. I'd recommend him to anyone, without a doubt, as far as how he's made my engine look, patience and perserverence with customers. I'll let you know about the engine once Ive had it for a while and run it in but I have every faith that Stan's done a terrific job.
If ya want prices for work, you will obviously need to ask him personally.
Im sure he'd be more than willing to do work for anyone on here.
Mike
arse, Swansea is a bit far, was hoping it was a bit more local lol
just out of interest i notice you have a none OE TPS, was this on the engine when you got it ?........
just asking as ive got the exact same one in my room as a spare if mine ever fails, got it on Ebay cheap, there worth ~£80

Throttle Position Sensor??
Ive got no idea, I never saw the engine up close in its original state.
Is it a bad thing that its non standard?
Mike

note to stan.........lazy fukker...get the bodies off the rims n under the bonnet ;)
very nice mate - im very impressed :D
lol trust 2live to spot that :lol:
