right so a long due update:

i got the 3.0 in timed up, soldered my speedo drive wires back together, now i got given this engine and had little or no faith of it actually working, so with a few friends watching it was shit or bust,

It fired up first turn of the key....happy fucking days

decided to paint a few little bits in satin black and took it for a road test






then after some thinking on what to do next, me and a few mates where talking and spur of the moment i decided to get it ready to paint it, no idea on what colour i was going to go....





then the next day i was talking to my friend and a colour was decided.....









should get some more piccies when i get it home, the wheels are going high gloss black like the roof and cage,

next up is a flocked dash,interior carpeted,rs tuning map, tax,mot and some abuse on the road
