Engine has new cam bearings
gearbox is rebuilt

Engine is being picked up tomorrow by kiwi [god bless him],from the sounds off things the weekend will see us measuring for the pushrods,which means im assuming the majority of the engine will be built

hoping the next 4-5 weeks will see us starting up the car

extra jobs are both off side and near side outer front wings and a new rad support section,i will post pictures later but i have just poked a hole about 3 inch tall by 3 inch wide in the pass wing

wont have much time after that as my company has just told me they are loading an extra 25 jobs a week on us [about an extra 3/4 of the work again] but minimum they are doubling my wages :shock: not going to knock that,but it does mean i am not going to have much time for cars,but will be down shakey as often as i can getting the car running as good and fast as possible :thumbright:

I could not afford to go all out last time,i could only afford the stroker kit and the radiator at the time,the engine had to come out anyway this time for some bits so i figured i can afford it now lets do it,plus the gearbox was getting tired.

So yeah i am just doing what i wish i could have done two years ago.

With the electrics done only last year,the engine gearbox and rear end rebuild,the new steering new brakes and some bodywork,i really dont think i am going to do anything else for a while to the car,so i best be happy with it lol

Simon from someone who has had plenty of small block headers they are crap unless you get some with big flanges to the heads, i have had most makes and they all blow eventually until i was lucky enough to get some TTI S secound hand if you can do it do it now and save doing it later just some advice :thumbright:
