"that bit" cut out lol. also plated the bit under where the heater blower goes as it was rotten
well, mostly been doing head work, mirror polished all my valves, lapped them all back in. just needs skimming and decokeing (£42+vat), then the nice crack mod doing (since ive got about 40 of them)
also bough some nice omega 86.5mm pistons (well 3 of them) so need to get the block bored and faced. (£130+vat) the crank and fly wheel needs lightening and balancing and a regrind on the crank (£200+vat)
looks like the build isnt really a budget build anymore lol lol
those prices were from the company around the corner from me, will have to find some other prices.
this weekend im going to try n crack on with the shell. but ive got a supra cam cover and turbo to polish for some extra pennies, and an e36 328 manifold to moddify for an e30 with an e36 engine in it lol
shock...ive done some more work to the shell...the bit ive been dreading. the arches

lol nice atleast your cracking on again!
Some nice fab work mr bubba. Not looking forward to this on mine lol
cutting it out is the worst bit.
few updates from weekend. if you can see where the panel is its on the roof of the office in the warehouse. nova will be going up there when its finished welding for the filler work so its out the way and not outside in the wet :p
