still no closer to getting a running engine 
Wallace have bought all replacement parts.... but have found the bores to be off centre, and not the gasket being too small.
The block is being shipped down to AGRA again for them to look at a 2nd time.
What a rasperry pavlova

The car is at dastek (i did take it elsewhere)
The problem just now is going back and forward between Wallace and Agra (engine builder, machineist) as to who's fault it is/was.
On another note.... I've now got Harry Hockely hubs on the front as i burst the MTecs

Are you dong the one on the 9th?
I think Ecosse to a budget Selex kit that might do the trick on the 205.

Ye, your own recovery vehicle of sorts would be a great asset at a track day.
