    engine will be going in once the clutch has been replaced, changed the lower pulley and cleaned the engine up abit, am in need off the rubber engine mounts as i've missplaced the bleeders , i've also got uprated driveshafts and hubs so things are starting to take shape

    the cars currently sat in my garage, just fitted some FK coilovers snd its sat on some revolution rfx wheels
