IÂ’m moving in 2 weeks, so things have ground to a half.

The electrics were in pretty bad shape to have spent most of the time sorting out botched wiring
I have stripped the suspension and breaks off, axels and wishbones, all need to go back on to get the car rolling to move it :embarassed:

After a brief strip down then house move which meant the car had to be rebuilt, I've managed to get things moving again now that IÂ’ve settled into the new house.

Unfortunately IÂ’ve only got a single garage now, but canÂ’t have everything.

So today managed to get the engine out and the new block up onto an Engine Stand to be re-con'd.

IÂ’ve also updated the website with the new pics

A big mate of mine owns a Valeting and car wash centre and he came up today with some engine degreaser.

He foned and said "this stuff is the daddy, wait will you see it work" and he wasnÂ’t joking. Honestly if I didnÂ’t have such big plans for the car I would bother painting the engine bay, it did such a good job. Quick spray and leave for 5 mins, then rinse it off job done.





We also did the New 2.0 16V engine  :lol:
