How did it go mate did you have a chance to see the engine builder
Yep, went very well engine is droped off. He is a great bloke was there for nearly an hour chatting and pretty much wandered throughout the workshop. Got there the door was closed, knocked on the door then he opened the roller door and there was massive GQ clean as high mount on 37s then thought this is looking good! ! (Was his one) Anyway new one should be ready Friday or Monday same deal. He's pretty laid back haven't paid for out yet as transfer wasn't available.
I'll put up some figures of where we're at soon. I'll leave it open for a couple more days, no pressure but if anyone does want to contribute send me a pm.
Total funds that have been raised from contributions and raffle is $4,302.
Engine cost is $4200 (which he has given a really generous discount from $4650 thanks to jonos good work), plus extra parts takes it to approx $5940. which leaves a difference of $1368 at this stage. As i said no pressure, I think it has been a pretty amazing result so far but the opportunity is still there (to chuck in) if anyone would like.
Got a text from the engine builder, everything seems to be on track and should be ready to be picked up Monday provided the injectors come in. Said cracked head and blown piston was the cause of is troubles, sent through a couple of pictures but kind of hard to see.
Another generous donation taking the total to $4402 !!
