At least let me get some fuel into it before I start spending money

Well, a big thankyou to Baz for coming out to my house and showing me how to fix my problem. His suggestions did the trick, and now I can get petrol into it and drive it on the same day. Just one more question--- is it really necessary to rebuild my engine, add a supercharger, feed it with 2 turbos, plumb in nos, fit brembo brakes, add some coil overs, fit a roll bar,a remote oil filter, a huge intercooler, and a carbon fibre bonnet??
Thanks again Barry.

Apart from adding turbos etc. Stick a piece of hose down the fuel filler and push the ARV open,and it worked. Now it fills just like any other car. Good onya Baz !
