Well thought i would do another samll update. After 2 years of owning this motor iv now got it to the stage where it is now running and i will be soon putting it on the road. I cant express how chuffed i am as it been a long time coming. Even though there is still alot to do its now all cosmetic as its all mechanically done minus a few little jobs. Iv been looking forward to this stage as it is where it will all come together alot quicker and should make it into a sweet motor. The engine runs sweet as a nut and it hasnt even been setup yet. Been on the phone about insurance and well chuffed with he quote, just bought a cat 1 alarm this week for the insurance so thats the next job to do then the mot and tax. Gonna get it road worthy and then sort out the interior. Here is a couple of pics, sorry there isnt many but there isnt alot to see other than the new wheels fitted cossy 4 pots and front bumper.

Thanks for the comments, its nice to know other ppl like what iv done so far. Dont think ill have the time to get it ready by then due to work comittments but i will garantee it will be about in the near future. Wanna get it run in and set up properly first and get the interior done before i have it out properly.

My car went for its MOT today and has now passed
Going to start using it as soon as the logbook comes back to tax it. It been a long time coming but she is now mobile.
Time to start putting a few miles on her and run the engine in and then get it set up
