Howdi all

Well i thought its about time i do another update just to keep you all
informed of where i am up to

Done myself some yellow passivating
CV joints, throttle body parts, locks, latches and pulleys etc






Brand new shift covers with all new internals, springs, locks etc





Built up my new inlet manifold and throttle body with all new gaskets and
bolts etc







Then i rebuilt my freshy bead blasted and painted metering head with
all new plated nuts and bolts and new gasket from ford. Still not finished
though as i need new copper washers and attach the brackets etc







I also got my Stage 3 big valved ported and polished head back from Ade
at impulse developments. His work is awesome.
Had it pressure tested and skimmed, new stainless big valves, re polished,
new valve guides cut back to assist air flow and 3 angle valve seats plus
new stem seals etc













Also i rubbed down, etch primed and painted my block in satin black
after having it acid dipped and honed. Then fitted the new core plugs and temporaly put the water pump on to see what i thought of the colours.







Also some parts ive collected over the last month or so



Genuine pump and gasket













Well thats it for now folks, next update will be showing the new sills and
rear inner and outer arches fitted and the engine rebuild

cheeRS
