rebuild time!
first i must say that this might be a slow resto thread, but ill try my best to keep it up to date 
so here it is
just so you know my car
i had a ah hour free tonight, so before the light faded i thought i would get out there and make a start
i havent really finalised a spec yet, but at the moment, im thinking 8mm longer rods, custom pistons for the rods 7.2:! compression ratio, 26.5mm inlet ports, 25 mm exhaust ports, gt 30 turbo (not sure if im going to use internal or external wastegate version! 2wd manifold with custom secondary pipe, custom inlet (undecided how im going to go about this) ford head gasket with wire ring block, standard head studs, i also got an intresting gearbox idea, which but not sure how long this is going to take to work
lets see how it goes
