I gotta sticker in my front window, it kinda obstructs my view of the curb a little down in the left hand corner.

Mum won't let me out after dark so it's kinda only dangerous in the daytime. :twisted:

Well here is my new engine Build

I have order from Avonbar, their Phase 3 turbo cam kit which has 400" lift plus my 1.5 rockers should be interesting it comes with valve springs, cam followers, plus their ARP head stud kit with flanged nuts, ARP rod bolts, ARP main bearing stud kit.

I have ordered from MED engineering their Omega forged +20 pistons and rings, en24T flywheel bolt and lock washer, en24T crank pulley bolt.

from altered image coach works (Paul Vickers who builds miglia motors) i have ordered their Steel main bearing cap kit which has a centre 4 bolt main cap, and steel end caps.

all this should be in my hands in two weeks if not less.

from karcraft i have all other items including bearings, thrusts, gaskets turbo oil pump etc.

I have also ordered soem stainless braided brake lines and have mounted my brake booster under the drivers side guard wiith a stone shield around it.

i am hoping to have it back on the road by late november.

and i have orderd my intercooler from Micks Metal Craft so as soon as she is on the road it will be there having it all made up.

from there i will be be building up my sccr gearbox with LSD from minispares.

and then by mid next year i will be ditching this head
