cars nearly all back together now and running.
car is smoking a bit so need to investigate and see whats going on.
think turbo needs rebuild as there side to side play and in and out play
think bottom end might need rebuilding too
and still needs respray
all the expensive bits coming up now
could be some time till i print the next smiley face
oh fuck it,there you go
really pleased with project so far.
been months of work so far but defo worth it.
its so nice to work on now,minty mint underneath.
so me thinks stage 1 is complete.
stage 2,engine and turbo time
thanks for following the build so far
