Thanks alot Alex, the colour looks alot betting in the day light tbh.
Thanks mate, how's your's coming on?
Don't know yet dude, it will be nice to have it back together for the end of March/mid of April.
Its then got to be trailered to Mark Fish for wheel alginment then to Mike Woodford for...
Gave the block a paint today, just gave it a coat of this.
It looks like gloss but it was still wet when i took this picture.
Also fitted the 182 exhaust manifold, bit of a pain in the ass even with the head off.
I had to remove the anti roll bar and the starter motor, but its in.
I...
I even offered to pay for my set to secure them along with a set of ARP rod bolts but they didn't want payment.
My heads away being ported so ive got a couple of weeks to sort this.
Right bit of an update, spoke to RA again late yesterday.
They have said that they have spoken to Supertech and the delivery date they have been given is the end of March. :(
Anyhow they said to them that this is not good enough and that they need a few sets asap as they have customers...
I was snoring so loud that Sunglasses_Ron got out of his tent and moved it across the field in the early hrs of the morning.
I can see me sleeping in my own field this year. :(
Do not paint the black plastic grill.
It will looks s**t and probably come off.
All you need to do if its faded is give it a coat of C4, job done.

Oh i think...
Cheers Andrew. :approve:
This afternoon i got a call from the powder coaters, my bits where all one.

I had them done in the same colour as the other sliver bits on the car which is a sliver which looks light grey in some...
Bonnet is sitting to low at the back, the trim has clips which looks like it just needs tucking back under the screen.
No big deal mate, glad you're happy with it now.
Tbh I was a little bit shocked that you bought such a mint car and then started to modify it.
Don't get my wrong the engine mods are great but I couldn't be fitting later wheels to it.
Its just wrong.
Its like having a mint ph1 and fitting 182 wheel's to it.
Epic car mate, I love it. :)
No mate, Dave's away on holiday at the moment.
The guy I spoke to gave me ED number.
RA want £300 for a set, don't mind paying a little bit more but not £450.
Thanks anyway mate. :)
So PEC haven't got any stock of the Supertechs, the guy said its gone mad with people buying them.
I also called Engine Dynamics who had them in stock but wanted £449, no ta.
Looks like it will be the Sinus valves then.
