Default My resto RST

Well after blowing up box number 2, i have now taken the car off the road till next spring..

I was going to break the car for spares but couldnt do it.. the car is very clean and tidy but the engine bay wants some attention..

So i dropped the engine out and started my project..




Engine out on floor

With engine out

Head off



How it looks now





So now i need to tidy the loom up and have the bay painted

Looks a million times better on those rims Pat, Good luck with the build. You upping the spec at all, or staying the same?
