Default Well the engines out

Amazing how much crap gets thrown into the bay

Going to strip it all and repaint
Cyl head is getting refreshed and going on ebay with the cams and verniers
Also my clutch and a load of other bits i dont need
Karl has finalised my new head speck and pistons
Bernie has just finnished my gbox and the new clutch has been picked
Changing the intercooler as well
And i have managed to loose 50 kilos of weight out of the car from general crap i dont need and im sure i can loose a lot more
Im on a diet
my new nitrous set up is ready
So i hope i wont be right at the back at TOTB
