so over past couple of weeks me and my uncle have been rebuilding her

pics below

If a tester failed it for that, they'll have to be taken round the back and shot.

I blasted a GSi inlet manifold a few years back. I masked off all the holes & ports but it still got in. Took me an age to clean the shot from the sticky/gunked up insides. No way I was gonna risk anything.

See youve posted an even nicer pic. :thumb:
