Thanks for sharing Simon, all very interesting. There's no point in commenting about the wiring as the photo's say it all but the Brazil and white piping is different. I can't recall ever seeing a car with such a combo and not as bad as I'd have imagined either.
 
Remember that bodged up m104 turbo from a few post's ago? Have 2 more howlers from the same car....

But the one I found under the fuse box takes the biscuit.....

A bit of a progress update on the new workshop.

I now have a lovely solid, flat, smooth floor to work with. We went with fiber re-enforced concrete for strength, about 6" deep in places to get it level. The walls have been stripped of all the old screws and nails, brackets ect (a job I did not enjoy), and the first coat of white sprayed on. It looks brighter already.

I'm waiting for another week to let the floor fully dry out, then it can have a coat of grey floor paint to seal it. The new lift is here, so I can start marking out the positions of those. I think I can get 3 lifts down the right side at an angle, and another on the left in line with door. The rear portion of the unit that hasn't been painted white, will be divided up as an office, a store, and a toilet.

We had some good weather over the august bank holiday, it was a nice change to run Lydden hill in the dry!

Innocent looking BMW E46 compact hides a big surprise, this one packs a full on s54 evo engine. Not for the faint hearted!

I'm quite looking forward to this one.
 
And to cap this weekend off I took Rob's coupe for another spin in the rollers.
