Well the inside is being prepped up as we speak so with a bit of luck the inside will at least be in primer by the end of next week

also had Paul NYRS send out some door hings for me to Jacko wich im ever so grateful for but unfortunately they haven't yet turned up, so iv taken some off the car on the drive and sent those out!

Also sold off my genuine swedish plenum and i have a hart plenum on order

Time to make a start on putting the head back together


Gave the valves a clean up and a quick lap in





Newman double valve springs



All fitted... well they are now lol



Got the rods shot peened while they were out



and a few bits iv got from Matt Lewis and Tony Ryan
Mahle motorsport rings,mains and big end bearings and guff..





Random pic




Still undecided as what to do with my pistons as while its all apart id like to raise the comp back up to as close to 8.0:1 as possible... iv been going back and fro in my mind as to just keep it as is or get some forged CP's or Cosworth racing pistons..... O what do i do!!!!!

on the other hand i could use the money to go to wards getting the garage put up when i move
