as for changing the engine i think i may leave the 1.8 lump in there for now purely as the insurance will shoot right up but give it time
planning on giving her another polish tomorrow with some real course cutting compound and some proper polish as you can kind of see where i have flatted it back at the right angle but hey ho

and i am spraying a few things black not too sure on what yet though ... splitter ... maybe side skirts as they are primer grey may be the whhels too for the time being i am not sure .. :/
