i've been waiting 6mths for this after
being mucked around by the engine builder,
but now i have it,
i'm dead excited and wanted to show you all.
even the car is sitting up and begging me to fit it
. no engine or gearbox
how it was before i took the engine out (nighttime shot)
20 under bonnet led's effect to bring out the bling
