To date (Sep 14)

On the way to BHP show at 6am:

Knew absolutely nothing when I brought this but carried out all the work myself and it taught me a great deal. I converted to the bike carbs around a year ago. I've had plenty of problems and weeks of the car being off the road but its running fairly well now. I also picked up a low millage engine for free which will be built over the next few months for a high powered small block build!

Hope you guys like it!

Thanks mate. Yeah was staining, when I rebuilt the head I didn't clean the waterways in the block so it threw a load of crap into the header tank. Will be replaced with a baileys one in time.
