Update
Well this week I decided to fit a mock engine in the car so that I can make new boost pipes have a manifold made and sort all the other bits out while I'm waiting on my pistons being made ,
Then went off to Ajcs to fit it as my cars still up at his also made a start on the new fuel setup and removed all the old fuel lines and battery feeds , Daz c also made a start on the new wiring loom and battery feeds,

Some work on the wiring today. Need some more bits and ideally need the complete engine in to tidy the engine management harness and make sure there is enough length before it's all clipped up properly.

We've told him Nash! Dean is borderline pikey though so won't spend any money. He's like a Scottish Jew. Tight as fuck. Annoyingly I sold a pair of 10mm hubcentric spacers just before Christmas!

you should watch what you say about sweaty socks as you want one to build you a manifold and get him to sell some gold to fund the onion lol
p.s hope your going to put some of those nice shiny bits in the car for when it comes to scouse land it'll save me a small fortune

it's up and running again now but on standard head as the nice one has become a garden orniment as the alloy has perished so going to sell it soon mainly for the bottom end as thats all steel so would make a strong 220 ish engine as it is and i'll probably through the inlet and exhaust mani's in the mix as i won't need them on the new 2 litre
