due to my engine deciding to go pop which was mostly my fault for putting it in 3rd instead of 5th.:cry: i finally got my ass in gear while the engine was being stripped and got some new goodies and painted them up. also had the rocker cover re-done and the front cage done due to scratching and fitting the top windscreen bar. i also got my brand new omp paddle clutch today (racing only model no springs)haha so will have to fit that and hopefully no slipage for me. turbo i going to get sent off to universal turbos to be hybrided. Is smoking a bit due to it being old and having 22psi thrown its way so could do with a recon anyway. Need to sort out the wiring problem as it keeps making the engine jump! oh and also need to set up the 100bhp shot of nos. should be good
some piccys of the nice new shiney white goodies. All painted up for only ?100 its not what ya know its who u know :D

Looks like you have some nice, clean bits there. Takes more than those to keep it all together mind.

Good luck! Should look sweet when done. Is the shell having any work?
