Default ANOTHER COSWORTH IN LAWNSY'S GARAGE!!!!!!

Just thought i'd show everyone my new car!!! The blocks cracked and its now in lawnsys garage getting a rebuild. We're searching for a new block at the mo, maybes just gonna put a whole engine in though if one pops up at the right price.

Heres the pics anyway, as you can see we're all very professional (look at 3rd pic)

It was the metal the new crossmember was welded to that gave way on it. Not to worry, it will be back out next week again hopefully.

lawnsy has Dan got a block yet? He tried to ring me earlier but I missed it, got no answer when I called back.
