Hi

I got the car back in bits March 2018 so it's an ongoing rebuild on a limited budget. I am hoping to fit the body in July but I am doing engine bits at the moment and I have the clutch etc to change, the parts that cost money and no one eees. Luckily I have an understanding wife who doesn't mind me disappearing into the mancave at night and brings me the odd beer. So if I put any bits in the wrong place you know why lol

A good price for a clutch kit and a good read on the chimaera. Some very well insulated engine bays that I will have to look into .when the out riggers were repaired we turned the chassis over and drilled and internally wax oiled all the main tubes and fitted the correct rubber stops if this helps only time will tell

Engine fitted yesterday with the help of my own pit crew ie my wife I couldn't have done it without her

It's a very simple answer the car is 2.9 injection and the blue and the red are flow and return fuel lines I'm a plumber so red is flow blue return just so I don't have to keep checking as I start putting it all back together the pipes are just longer than needed I will cut to size later

I've been using fb mainly but here's where I've got to so far because ph is where this all started for me

Hopefully next spring that's what I'm aiming for but that's not including a repaint so it won't be the prettiest

Fuel lines done ,brake lines done, coolant pipes done I'm getting some help with electrical so hopefully engine will be running soon . Still a lot to do but getting there

I had a loose coil so not to bad but I wish I had bought a pipe straightener like in car builders solutions and I definitely would buy the best brake flaring tool I could . I bought the little brake pipe bender and it was fine but there are better options I can honestly say I wish I'd spent a little more
