Should go well enough then. I wish some of the Max Plastic boys would take a leaf out of your book and make a proper modded car rather than a mobile fun fair.

Nice one, cant wait till Djw Daves is done, we're all getting impatient, especially him! Any major problems getting it running?

 

[ollie_yesclio]

thats quality mate, top stuff

 

[Leeshez]

Looks nic to me

 

[clio_rsi]

cheers. the main problem i had was the power of the engine, ripped the top engine mount out of the head the first time i took it out!! so i got it tig welded to the head all the way round, seems ok now.

 

[Djw John]

Tell me about it! There is progress tho, once my new fuel pump arrives and is in ill get the interior all back in, did you finish the wiring? Or are you still wanting to move the crossovers to the back as well??
