back in business, oh yeah!

[summeh]

Been 7 months now but finally got my williams rebuilt!

Seems quite nippy compared to before. A few minor things to sort out like the alt belt being to tight, and the exhaust rattling like mad. Other than that, all is well!

[TriO`]

congrats fella must feel good to be back on the road after all that time...

How was the rebuild then? was it the first time you have had a crack at it? just asking because i think mine is going to die soon lol

[Itsme]

Good to hear you gona try the nitro again?

[Zollo]

Coooool. Looking forward to seeing it back in action :D

[summeh]

rebuild was quite easy really... have a few people to thank for all the advice, mikey, benr, 2live, and arj for his help getting the engine in etc :wink:

the forum definately made it easier, and yeah it was my first time, lol.

the nitrous is all hooked up in the engine bay. not sure i will have it sorted before FCS though as I gotta focus on getting my house sorted now. missus is already pissed off with me spending all my time in the garage as it is :shock:

[summeh]

[summeh]
