That looks insane!
Cannot wait to see the end product.

Looks amazing and will certainly stand out amongst the crowd.

Excellent paint finish DPL, so my rear bumper...?

Looking forward to the end result.

i feel like a kid waiting for xmas day

first time seeing the front end with all the bits on that I just imagined previously. Hard as nails which was the idea.

I know it won't be to everyone's taste but I have the lovely bittersweet ZTT as my daily drive, so this is my "you can modify a rover" car as well as "k-series, doesn't that always have head gasket failure" lol

Nice to see it on this day of awful weather. It's brightened up my day !

Cheers Craig and Graham

You've still got to take it apart to put everything back in

haven't seen any updates on those engine bits, or did I miss them in this large thread?

GeraintUK · 21st October 2014, 15:12

engines on it's way back to me, all finished, sure i'd posted pics of the parts as and when they turned up but can't remember (old age).
Not much to take off, just front panel and then crane the engine back in.
Thinking of having the box worked on before i put it back in though, stronger bearings and just fettled to make as good as i can for now.

Very much doubt i'll get her up and running this year now with the dark nights and horrible weather, but we'll see. So long as ready for next years shows and drag events, i'll be happy.

Jordan Apex · 21st October 2014, 15:35

Oh i remember seeing the parts, you sent them off to get assembled, explains why I didn't see any more! Must be annoying knowing it is so close but so far away to being finished!
