Yet another update. Only realising now how little pictures I took but ye'll get the general jist.

With drive4charity comming up I wanted ta do something a bit different with the car. Also was having some heating problems so needed ta get the head done. So combineing the two ideas together I decided to get the engine bay sprayed. So after a couple of evenings stripping, sealing and degreasing the engine was out and ready for paint. So off it went and while that was a away we got cracking on the Cosworth head gasket, arp head bolts and studs and the head went off for a skim. Then all cleaned and back together.





So, the car came back from spraying...and i was over the moon. Nothing at all what I expected. pics do this no justice what so ever! And it looks unbeleiveable at night.

So time ta start piecing it all back together. In the mean time had got braided lines, a set of BLOX wheels nuts, a heat wrapped Skunk2 mani, some bits done in carbon effect and an r33 power cable to tidy up the cableing to the battery in the boot.







Cleaned up a few pipes and polished what could a little bit more

[NoelB]

And then the fun began of putting it back together





And the finished article all ready for d4c
