Default Got my car back after engine rebuild.

well its been a long time without my car, 10 months.

the car went in for a head gasket replacement however the block was cracked and ended up getting a fully rebuilt engine.

I bought a brand new 200 cosworth block,this had been long studded and never been used, done me perfectly.

I went on to buy new pistons,oil pump, WRC metal gasket...the list goes on and the garage built it all up and got the car up and running and I got it back the other day ready to be run in...will be doing more miles this week than I done all last year.

it was good to get out in it again after I gave it a good wash and a bit of a polish.

took a few pics on a run out.


















roll on the rest of the running in.
