Default YET ANOTHER 2.1 ZVH BUILD (THIS ONES ON A BUDGET????)

ALRIGHT THERE PEPS , THOUGHT ID PUT UP A LITTLE POST ABOUT WHAT I'M UP TO AT THE MO.
I MANAGED TO GET MY HANDS ON A 2.0 ZETEC FOR NEXT TO NOWT DUE TO THE FACT THE TIMING BELT HAD SNAPPED.
SO THE HEAD WENT IN THE BIN SO THE PROPER WORK CAN BEGIN.

I STRIPPED THE BLOCK AND PAINTED EVERTHING UP NICE AND CLEAN, THEN SORCED A SET OF VAUXHALL XE PISTONS FOR NEXT TO NOWT OVER XMAS TIME ON THE OLD E-BAY

SOLD ME OLD RUN ABOUT AND GOT THE BLOCK BORED OUT, SO THATS THE GAP OF WHATS BEEN HAPPENING FILLED IN, TIME FOR SOME PHOTOS
