Cheers tom, just wish it wouldmcome together quicker.

After being let down with the welding, i bought myself a mig 151 turbo to do it myself.
Never welded anything before but the best way to learn is to get hands on

Finished the boot floor



Also got my fibreglass bonnet yesterday and have done this to it already.







Just needs some filler where the vents are bonded in, then it can be sprayed up.

Thanks for looking

Fitted a spare engine engine today and mock fitted everything. I've had to move the radiator quite far forward but its in.
Just need to get a smaller oil cooler now as my one is too big to fit anywhere



Its quite tight!

Got my head back from being port and polished.







Spent an evening grinding in the new valves and built it back up. I have had the injectors cleaned and new nozzles fitted.



Got the head back on and all times up.



Also fitted the lightened flywheel and paddle clutch.



Put the flocked dash in to make sure it clears the roll cage.

In using a n/a inlet manifold. You can do it with the standard manifold but it would be a right mess, you need to bypass the top half on your inlet and have the inter cooler into the bottom inlet on the gearbox side
