Bad Day Just Got Better!!

Gidday again from Downunder,

Just got our '95 850 Turbo back from my mates garage the other day, after receiving pretty much a full engine rebuild using the original block and head.

It's been a loooong 5 weeks since the wife cooked it. We had to wait for parts to arrive from Sweden and Germany(???), however all is well now. I don't know every last detail of what has been done to the engine or what internal parts have been replaced, however it does sound strong! I suppose I'll find out when I get the final itemised bill.

Anyway, it's currently going through the running in process...so we are taking it real easy. I just might have to go out cruising this weekend just to put a few kilometres on the clock and in an effort to get past the running in stage.

I don't care what it's going to cost me, it's just great to have it back, believe me!!

Go The All Blacks!!!

Cheers,

Wolfie,

One of the boys is sorting everything out for me. I'll let you know how things turned out.

Once again, thanks for your help.

Geezer

Close match with the Boks vs. France.
Can't wait for the AB's vs. Lions!!!
