After Action I will finish the rear hatch as then I can get both front and back painted properly!

Then it will be on with those engines!

Well I have done nothing!



Have got hold of a lower glovebox so will fit that soon.


Still undecided about engines! Looking at VR6's as an alternative!

Had to replace the CD autochanger.

Must think about doing a cambelt change, unless I get back to doing the other engine! :rolleyes:

The rear hatch stalled because I couldnt make the release button work.
So have gone against my wishes and will be getting hold of a boot popper!
The hatch will get done, in a few months time! :grin:

The engine build is now most definitely going ahead!
Well I have just paid out a LOT of money for JE pistons and Integrated Engineering conrods!
That does include all the rings and bolts etc. but with the dreaded VAT and shipping from USA over a grand! :cry:

means I cant back out now! will be doing all I have planned.
