started in the engine bay, done some wiring and tidying it up as much as i can, vx inlet will get swapped out when i get a mantzel one. stainless exhaust manifold will be next month, hopefully get a tigra scuttle aswell, and need to change alternator belt, and fuel tank, and under seal while i'm there. wheels need refurbished and a set of new tyres.... list goes on and on and on

last pic is just part of the history with the car £7150 hahaha and that's not even new, anyway yeah so the boy took off the bumpers and started to strip the car as he "blew" the engine then just gave up and put up for sale, i saw it took is straight away as i know it's a very good shell and inside, and i also have another engine, so number 4 has hit the plug and the timing belt is very very loose so i'm guessing that the crank has slipped the woodruff key or something to throw the timing, probably valves bent aswell. 1,2,3 are all good, anyone know what would fix this is it a case of dropping number 4 hoaning the bore and then replace piston and rod, get head recon and fit up new timing?

cheers mate! it's currently in the paint shop getting some panels painted, and hopefully a machine polish getting ready to go to crail raceways as performance vauxhall will be there, underneath is not done but it is very very good, so i will give it a little clean and then fully seal it once i get it on the road properly, the sri is also mint inside is spot on and underneath is amazing aswell, just need to fit the replacement engine and sort the rear arches fit bumpers and should be ready for the road too,
