overdue update as been flat out with work


so the front end was ripted off to find the only rot was around the bumper bolt mountings so thats all good!!!!!

fitted spax rst suspension all round with rs turbo arb/ hubs /arms etc also rs turbo brake set up with grooved discs.......still to fit master and servo


stript the engine down ....shotblasted the block and gave it a fresh coat of black paint
steam cleaned the rest also it was the later block that came with a cps hole ...that saved some hastle for the efi conversion
