Hopefully new one will be in the garage in the next week or so (hopefully this weekend) but cold be next week some time.

i just have to get the following sorted now,

Ring Omex and get ecu bought and paid for.

Get new exhaust sorted,

Bonnet and scoop needs sorting,

redo wiring under the dash.

bracket for hydrolic slave cylinder for the clutch.

Fit and plumb in swirl pot.

Make sure all the new stuff fits (when it arrives!

Royal Mail are going to have a busy time over the next couple of weeks.

A Basque terrorist organisation responsible for killing almost 1000 people. ...But I suspect he meant it as "Edited to add".

ETA: Ignore my definition of ETA, both were wrong. Too many TLAs. I'll go back to sleep now....

So how long will you have your new pinto before realising that pinto power isn't the way forward?
