Im sure my bodyshop guy is capable of that...Hopefully

Il need to get the doorcards off and have a look for the locks. Got told the line up pretty well and nothing needs done, i dont beleive it though.

Well parts are arriving VERY slowly! These super duper rare headlight protecters came today! Even rarer that there brand new!



Also put a deposit down on Starkies c20let out his cavy turbo that got wrote off (RIP Cavy)
Should have that by end of week to start rebuilding if the man gets time.

Fear not for the handles are not all that hard to fit. You just need to watch out for the window and its runner. I know someone who could not undo his door with the outside handle if the window was open lol.

yeh i do have a lot of money, but a lot of sweat and blood went into earning it (literraly)

Wylo, yeh Kyle is doing all the welding work for me! Wouldnt trust anyone else to be honest No runaround yet, should really get round to getting one. But using the mums motor is a lot cheaper

Here we go as promissed, couple pics of the engine!
101k miler, still runs as sweet as the day it left the factory.




Cars away with a mate getting fully seam welded and strenghened, should have it back by end of the week. Then its time for a coat of paint or two.

I dont fuck around mate
Just a wee rebuild, the way the engine ran i can get away with changing gaskets, belts pumps, seals etc. Then i will do the full whack next year when i intend to go for big power.
