Just a few more pics for you all, got more if your intrested, of complete build, the spec has also changed, the engine alone now stands me at 5k, it will be worth it on my first day out in her.

Love it - cracking car this - goes against the grain in a good way!
couple of small things id do if it was my car id smooth out the bottom suage line on the doors and put a slightly larger rear spoiler on it.

Thats what the shell was built for, built by Denise Moody for tarmac, originally ran an EX engine, i would have had to do to many mods to the bulk head to drop a cozi in there, although that was my original idea till i seen how much more work would be involved

Yea i know what you meen about the vents, will change the bonnet eventually back to the original one or a carbon one, what you think about a rear WRC boot spoiler or would that be too much

Had the head fully rebuilt, new guides, valves, piper double valve springs and special stem seals, mildly ported and skimmed, run it up and it seems fine at the moment but i need to take it out so i can run in properly as its had new pistons and rings need to bed everything in, but sounds awsome, will post a video on utube later thanks for the comments
