got more work done on the engine during the week.
all ready to get the lightened flywheel, new pressure plate and clutch plate on then the gearbox onto the engine:D
The car and engine are stunning, this will used for shows mostly?
The engine should feel and sound nice with ashley system and lightened flywheel, and most of all because it's freshly rebuilt!
Good luck for first turn of the key, doubt you will need it though!
thanks leeboo
just going to use the car in dry weather only, so it wont be out much the weather we havelol
also any shows we have in n.ireland:thumb:
