    FYI I pay for everything myself.

    Credit cards are the route of evil

    I never won the lottery either, it's an on going joke.

    Cheers fellas.

    Its gonna be clean enough in the bay.

    Phase 2 of the rebuild is where I will go crazy, planning 2 new quater pannels and a full respray including the bay.

    The paint on the car is probably a 9/10, but the bay is probably a 6/10.

    It looks "Presentable" and could be shown, but I want it cleaner and cleaner every time I look at it

    More shiny bits have been ordered, Bailey header tank, Wiper cover, Oil pipe and water pipe. Chrome bonnet stay and polished brake servo cover.

    Also worth noting is the exhaust is for some reason sat way to the left, so this will be cut and modified once its running etc.

    Hoping for roughly 185bhp.

    I was going to build a nice forged engine, big head pistons rods etc, but I may aswell put the money into the LET engine and SCCR box.

    Plans include:

    4 pot willwood or AP brakes.

    Quaiffe SCCR gearbox (I wanted corsakids, but it came up just at the wrong time)

    Bigish power c20let (400ish)

    More Bling.

    Lower

    ETC

    Got some work to do on the KTM tonight, so expect an update around 11pm
