Got it back this morning and dropped Off at distintive detailing for the upgraded parts and a clean as we go along....









Then we started to strip the front end down to fit 500 cooler and various other items..

Cheers mate...

Little update.... Header tank is off and getting modified... And also couldn't find a bracket for air injectors where I could keep my cam belt cover.. So I've designed one and it's being made by a friend of mine.
