Have started doing some serious klepto collecting

Found a mint YBP small turbo Escos block with big sprayjets etc as a base for the rebuild....



And then it all got kinda out of hand from there on


Big wing sump....



WRC breather



Brand new Group A Thermo housing....



Cam cover modified for some rather tasty coil on plug action



Will be having one of my lovely WRC cam trigger kits fitted too



All mocked up to check on fit etc....





Lots of serious build up goodies,including genuine WRC 4 layer gasket and enough Quip to sink a cruis liner







Nice proper centre push hydraulic clutch conversion...



Much lighter and better performing Spal fan kit...



One of them horrible dumping thingies that i fookin hate,but i gotta run one so a recirc type it is...



Oh and some very nice Defi`s to keep an eye on stuff





Running the Defi link display too,so i got all the parameters covered......together with a 90mm 0-9K revcounter

It`s Halfords graphite grey Pete....

We are trying to match it to a powder RAL number at the mo so we can do it in some different powdercoat finishes

very very smart! anthricite/graphite colours are mega cool! crackle finish just makes it that little bit more special again

now get that block painted!
