It's not that bad, just someone have built it wrong previous. All boils down to money with these cossie's but there is a VERY good option out there for Dave.
Hope you make the right move Dave...hint hint.

Nice one Paul, quick work. I'll owe you a
Collecting engine on Saturday, so over the next couple of weeks will be hoping to strip it, clean, reassemble ready for installation.
Shorty
Your very welcome to make the brews mate. Then sit in the Recaro desk chair in the garage and admire the wheels.
Max
Only the one sticker on the car and that may just fall off

A couple of pic of the 200 block and cylinder head, just need to get it all together with bits a bobs from the old engine.
A bit of polishing/cleaning stuff, with a little help from the missus.
Tyding up the gauges as well
Amber indicators on now as well, along with some ducing in the fog lamp area for brake cooling.

Great work mate...
Just a suggestion, why dont you paint the gauge holders satin or matt black.

the Diva and myself were busy Sat afternoon. Engine parts collection now looks like this.
Only left to fit water pump (only gasket i didn't have)
, turbo, alternator and water thermostat housing. Then of course get the engine in the car and plumbed in.
Hopefully make Cumbria RS show on the 11th May.
Big thanks to the Diva for all his help
, you know there is a spare head at mine if required.
