wirralphil 22-02-2010 09:46 PM

Nice motor, N/A Cosworth sounds good. Take it the head is getting ported etc?

Them wheels also look class :top:

dave cos4x4 22-02-2010 10:07 PM

be a lot cheaper to go turbo than N/A Geoff, costs way to much to get a cosworth engine n/a.

I knew it wouldnt stay black for to long lol

so is this the reason the fez is taking so long ?

BIG.GEOFF.H 23-02-2010 08:38 AM

well im just waiting to get a bit of time to do the fez and robbo is very busy as well so waiting for him 2 ill have a mad 2 wks on it like i usualy do and get it done :D
