dumped the body on top to make sure everything still lined up after my extensive hacking and welding of the tub, this will be coming off again so i can do bits like fit engine and box in and route the brake lines ect

Looking great! I wish I could strip mine down like that and seal/paint it properly.

So just a quick update, I've just purchased another c20se engine and the manual gearbox I need, I've also put an extra leaf in the springs to help with the extra weight from the 2 litre engine. This week I'm temporary loosing my workshop space so I'm going to work on stripping some of the engines down and using the best condition parts to rebuild one awesome engine, I've purchased all new gaskets, seals and belts, just need to get my hands on some paint for the block

Hi tom in in bognor regis. Cheers ektoz
Quick update picked up the engine today, the chap kindly gave me a full manual loom and diffrent ecu which is supposed to add 15 bhp and allows me not to use a cat, also managed to get my hands on a load of automotive wiring cable and a shed load of connectors
