Your car seems to be coming along. Whats with the smily face RS Turbo badge
the bagde was a good idea at the time, and that was a long time ago
but its different so thats whay it was done, but i got a standard sticker to go back on
the pistons come with rings and pins mate, cost me £290 with postage, but some engine builders will do all the work for a set price, like ofr me over here, its £20 a hold plus vat for rebore, but i know a place on mainland that does it for £60 maybe plus vat i didnt ask, but a regrind over here is £160 then the shells on top
so i got my dads cousin to get it done near him, £167 inc vat for regrind and all shells so bit of money saved there, but the rebore at that place was same price as here so didnt bother sending the block over to him.
i got a new water pump to go on too, it was only £20 so its worth doing, nothing wrong with my oil pump so thats going back on
