Cheers James, arches look really good, and was something different (around this area)

I'm not keen on chrome stuff either, mines all polished just rocker cover is looking a bit dull.

I'l get some pics when the engine is in and finished all tarted up, the roose motorsport coolant/breather hoses don't all seem to fit though waste of £150.

Got few little bits still needed, starter motor is missing, and getting the hoses to fit, fuel lines to fit then she shouldn't be far off coming home finally.

Think got the starter motor sorted now if not i'l be intouch James.

I'l get some decent pics of the car when I get it back for a cartoon drawing also seems ages ago I asked you now

Well at the moment I wouldn't reccomend anyone buying the roose motorsport hoses.

Fuel lines need modified, start motor fitted again, little bit of welding, one drive shaft left to fit, wiring to sort, fan to modify to miss the manifold, then hopefully shouldn't be too much more to sort.

Picked it up tonight and ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



Haven't given it much of a rev yet but the XE pulls amazing, not sure if its just compared with 1.2 power but

Also not bad to just drive normally around town was quite suprised.

No engine was fully removed, sprayed then the XE fitted after spraying.

Cloth is covering all the hoses etc behind the engine into the bulk head!

It does give you a certain grin factor look a bit like that driving it at times
