crank - rods - + 5 mahle pistons with cutouts done ,

bigwing sump

all new gaskets , pumps , rings ect ,

heads at karls , just been fully ported new guides , ect to go in ,

and the coil on plug rocker cover it off to be acid dipped to be re painted to the new colour - with a twist

just pulleys , inlet cam , manifolds and turbo to sort

Agree 100%

Also judging from how particular these boys have been choosing panels and making sure everything is "just so". I cant see any of it being "out" and being called acceptable.

Im sure its spot on in the metal.

What a helpful comment lol.

IF it is slightly out then perhaps that's why Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefy said panel gaps are 99% spot on.

Is that ok with you?

Beef,

Top work mate. Look forward to seeing the finished article some day

powers yet to be decided , spoke to danny re his new inlet cam and putting the car on a link ecu ,

not sure what ballpark my spec would make , still needs to be dry built for the comp ratio to be worked out ,

im trying to hold off number chasing , everyone would like 500+

id say gt3071 - arond the 400-450 mark - low lag


transmisson wise its looking like a rebult t5 and ive already got a fully rebuilt quaife atb diff for the back , im hoping the 9 or 10 j rears wont smash it when they hook up lol

mate thats the biggest question of all , its all down to finances as it is with every project ,

i know 2 things

it will be perfect - with hopefully all the best parts i can afford to use

it will not be rushed or corners cut for a finsh date ,

realistically id like to unveil it at central next year - finished ,
