on close inspection we found my 200 block to be cracked in two places, luckily a mate spotted this beaut on fb and snapped it up, 6 hours to brum and back and it was down to my engine builders! gone standard compression, standard mahle pistons and rings, full engine spec to be listed at a later date, as im still buying bits!

with the welding complete ( very little was needed tbh) next up was stone chip and paint to the underside.

what a finish! so nice putting parts on a car thats clean! Ahem, you may notice the machine in the far corner. remember the blaster? well i was so impressed, i bought it! PM for details...

while in for paint, i decided to get the engine bay resprayed. looking spotless

getting the running gear on

while in the shop i had a good clean up!

this is it for now, although i do have the rear complete and rolling. Took the front set up to the powdercoaters and should be fitting it at the weekend, once rolling, its back into the paint shop, for body paint! going for a jewel violet, my favourite colour and should stand out at the shows nicely!!!
