Ive not done the cambelt yet i just want to see it running first to make sure it is ok.

Ive also done the brakes, master cylinder etc that price was just to bolt the engine in and make it run there a lot of hidden costs though

literally finished my AGU conversion last week, been driving it for 3 days now, and i haven't stopped smiling.
all in all, from buying the donar car to finish it has cost me £3000 to see it done properly. but thats with suitable
running gear and brakes. dont ever plan on selling it, and im single with no kids so cost makes no odds to me

- worth every penny
