jules the motor looks great mate

Not sure yet James.

Will probably run a set of headers in the end rather than standard cast exhaust manifolds, but not 100% sure.
If I do, do you want your donated ones back? I'll be happy to post back to you if I don't use them if you need them for something else

Cheers Si

Just thinking a nice set of headers will finish the motor

When you've finished with them 'i'll grab them back, even if its years away

Just been out for dinner with the wife as it's her 30th birthday today.
Got back and my favourite man Mr.Parcel Force had been

(mate of mine so knows to just drop off if I'm not around

)

Valves have turned up

(among other things) Yeeha !! $\:D/$

That was quick as they were only posted Saturday pm from NJ and we've had the bank holiday too

Wasn't expecting these til early next week

Now we can crack on with the engine build

Dude, what are you like? Where did this one come from?

Nice work, you gonna keep this one?

Jules · Post by **Jules** » Tue May 05, 09 10:55 pm

Stu... everytime I say "I'm gonna keep this 1" I end up selling it, so, as I actually DO want to keep this 1 I guess I better not say anything

I bought it back in November from Moose, just after I sold the last one.

The guy doing my welding set aside 2 days last week, but went to hospital on the first day so he never made it until today.
Will pop up there tomorrow to see how things are progressing

How's egnarO by the way? Sorted out the 318 now after thrashing the arse out of it ?

Lol, what are you like??

egnaroO`s running great now apart from the right hand rocker cover leaking all over the header (smells lovely). All thats left for me to break now is the back end

.

Best not joke about it, if I break anything else on the car I think I'll be shot.

Welding's been done now that was stopping me progressing.
Heater hole's are closed up, I just need to tidy the edges up abit.

Had the drivers footwell area done properly too (looked awful from the outside).
This was DEFINITELY gonna let the water in if left unattended !!

Had some work done up underneath too, which safely finishes off what that moron before started and bodged

At least it's done properly now

There's still a few bits that need doing on the car, but at least with this lot done, I can crack on with it. I'll get the rest done in a few months time I expect when my welder mate's not so busy with the summer rush.
