Going flat oot Robbie all this polishing with steel wool is not good for me
Hope to have it back on the road within the next month and get some decent milleage from it during the course of this year
Going to get some track days in as well but not before i get some decent stoppers on there.
Glad to see that you have started on yours going to be good with the spec that you have gone for

There are quite a few users on here from the Hill M8 which means lots of people to ask for a hand when i come to lift the head back on

Ok folks i have a very small update,
I have been waiting for loads of parts to arrive and have been feeling pretty unwell over the past couple of weeks so not much has happened im affraid
Went out tonight and spent a few hours getting the oil cooler all plumbed in so here are a couple of pics
Hopefully i will start to get back into it in a big way next week and get the thing back on the road soon

Feeling alot better now. Been busy building up another Escort Cossie engine for someone over the past few days so i will hopefully get going with my own one this week. Only waiting on a few parts to arrive and that should be everything
Roll on summer

Thanks for the comment M8
Robbie,
Its taken long enough but the head is sitting ready to be lifted on. Im just waiting for some pipes for the Pre-Turbo filter cos i will fit that before i fit the head. Also waiting on wheel studs and my new baby board to arrive and thats it will be full steam ahead after that

Never forgot about you so we will sort it out when you get home
With regards to the white one yes we will have a look at it but prob best to wait untill your back. Whenever that is
Not keeping the turbo filter, it has your name on it and is sitting nice and safe awaiting your return and of course your money
I am going a different route with the turbo / filter combo.
