After lots of agro waiting for the right parts my engine is finally back in the car.The only original parts left in the old engine are the block,crank and rods,it has cost me a fortune to rebuild the motor but it was worth it.It is going in to the paint shop for a full respray an colour change so should be ready for next year,a few trackdays an shows if i keep it.

Looks great and hope to get the chance to see it in the metal next year. What colour are you going for?

Your plate is interesting, my Mustang was BHJ 393F :)

I drove the car to the spray shop yesterday it,s going to be black no stripes,the centers of the wheels have been sprayed satin black.The car performs great now,im just taking it easy till it,s bedded in but it feels strong to how it was before,i also had a new twin plate carbon clutch fitted which is much better.Can,t wait to use it when it,s finished.

That looks really great! Glad to hear it's performing as expected. Any plans for events / races next year?

If you live near Brands, just drive up on any track day (check their website) and they'll noise test it for you .

Congrats! That is looking really good!!

Looks like it's all running and driving? Are you going to start using it or let it rest for winter?
