| cheers mate yeah i had a serious lump in my throat while i contemplated making that first cut lol although so pleased with the outcome, engine wise its having a vr lump in it with pretty much everything uprated, want to get every last available bhp from the nat asp lump before at a later date a charger gets fitted |

bottom end of the vr engine is built and timed up just need finish the head off and it can be fitted in the bay.
wiring loom now fitted along with brakes just gotta make up the brake pipes, brake lockoff valve fitted today
wheels now powder coated and fitted will get some pics up tonight so u can all see some quite major progress lol |

| If it was me and the price was right then the full on motorsport job by would have to be picked.... I think it would just finish the interior off perfectly! |

| cheers t1m.
im definately swaying towards full motorsport job due to individual cost of all the guages seperately being about the same price need to get in touch with my man at demontweeks to find out how much he can do me one for |
