Very nice work.

That engine bay cleaned up very well indeed. You are making really good progress.

About de-restricting your air box, are you likely to get much of a gain?

yer nice to see a good old 8v kept on the road.

wouldnt be to bad though pal if you had a full system fitted as it would all match up it was only a problem for me because who ever took it off there car before me basicaly hacked it off.
