Good on you. I love an inspired restoration with a good knowledge base. Respect.

[@SportsandGT]

Thank you. My knowledge base was minimal but by owning a classic it is increasing daily!! 😂

[@TP-3000]

Thanks!

[@SportsandGT]

Thanks for watching.

[@edwinblank58]

A nice project! Always a relaxed presentation.

[@SportsandGT]

Thank you. I always wonder if I should try and sound more excited like a lot of car TH-camrs but it’s just not me! 😂

@@SportsandGT please don't!

[@MrToddgibbs]

Engine looks fantastic - can't wait to see it all back together and running again

[@SportsandGT]

You and me both Todd - Wesołych Świąt!

[@drew699]

Great to see some real progress. Won’t be long now!

[@SportsandGT]

Yes, it seemed so long since anything much has happened and then within a couple of weeks, the engine is ready.

[@sw651]

Looks pretty interesting, I've never seen one of these engines out of the car.

[@SportsandGT]

Thanks. Me either, bigger than you might expect for a 4-cylinder, but that could be an illusion from it being canted over. On that stand it’s tipped very slightly more than it would be when installed.

[@ChannelClosed1346]

The engine looks just like new👌looking forward to see it go back in the car 👍Merry christmas sir!

[@SportsandGT]

Thank you, yes so am I. Happy Christmas!

I enjoy looking at ur videos, I would like to know what ur thoughts are on the installing of 2 gas/fuel tanks on a 88 esprit turbo? What procedure would you do to remove and replace looking for advice and thoughts and thx, keep the vids going inspiring!

[@SportsandGT]

Thank you very much. I’ve heard different things about how hard the two gas tanks are to take out but with an empty engine bay they were pretty accessible. If it were me doing it I’d be spending lots of time reading up beforehand in service notes and forums - particularly on fire safety! Good luck.
