Default My larger than expected cossie rebuild ! update 15/5/05

First here are the pics when I got the car, I knew it had a top end noise but little did I know there was more to come



Looks nice shame it was knackered


Heres the block still in car after removing head, I thought head needed rebuild but turns out it had bad piston slap too



We removed the block, oh what fun that was someone say you should of got a 2wd !


Previous owner obviously liked to launch hard !



More evidence of hard launches etc


Just some of tha parts to rebuild her


Will update with stages of the build as I go along, this is really making my wallet hurt

Well it will come back stronger but it won't be any quicker.
It was already supposed to be pushing out 350BHP stage 3 to be honest most cossies out there now seem to be doing this so not really to special.
I'd love to go for more but the 4x4 system will just say no and the money needed to strengthen it all I just don't have at the mo
