well heres some photos of progress...


After gettin the bay done i got a 1600 efi lump just to chuck in and drive the thing about with before turbo'ing, but a quick check on the cambelt revealed...


the pump was siezed, the bottom pulley smoothed of from rust and the engine seized solid, so i decieded to get on with some other projects i had at the time, and it got left for about 6 or 7 months, until a few weeks back where i decided to crack on
I gave my engine (in peices) to a mate who has an old school machine shop in town where it got built.
In the end it got a full balancing on the rotating asembely, the copper blanks pulled out and re-done, block was decked, honed, polished crank, re-face on the head, re-faced flywheel, arp bolts, new oil pump, water pump etc etc etc
chucked it in the bay day after getting it back, and now just working my way through my 'list' as i suspect most of you are







the last 2 pics are how it stands now, the fuel system, cooling system, boost pipes, breather set up, are all done, and most of the engine is plumbed in now, just waiting on a few clips and niggly stuff, plus a ofac map sensor (rare as fuck) then i got to make the brakes fit, and modify the bumper the fit on around the fan, for now anyways
