set off earlier this morning up to rays to pick up the sj up and took it for a spin around the yard and she goes like the clappers much prefer this engine compare to the diesel one :lol:

Image

needs alot of tidying in the bay but its a project in progress so it dont have to look tidy at the minuet ;)

Image

However Ray hit my truck but we came to an agreement and it was sorted out

Image

Hopefully going to bang it out

Image

putting in the washer bottle pipes straight to wipers

Image

ray was scrapping another sj so i wipped out this box thing for free :D

Image

so fare is going back together pretty easy :D :D :rockin:

How come you paid ray to fit the engine then? Also did that dent happen while at his yard? Is be well pissed off if I put my vehicle in somewhere for work and came back with a dent like that :shock: I would've kicked off until they fixed it, well out of order in my opinion.

i was up for putting it in my self , but dad want ray to do it because the wire was completely nackerd and it need a hole load of welding , but ray did it very cheap for me anyway ,

and for the dent i had a bit of a moan at him and i think he knocked a bit of the price , but im not that fust with it to be honest easy to try and bang it out anyway
