It looked really good yesterday, and good to chat to ya! :thumb:

 

good to chat john,was a good day.

 

 

Shame the blue doesnt match.

 

i know,couldn't find hoses the same colour,then was thinking of doing them a similar colour to the hoses,in the end i ran out of time and used what i had (same colour as brakes)

 

looked really good again at Rs combe yesterday mate, loved the induction kit you've made ;)

been busy this last week fitting another 2.0 engine as some may know i was burning a little oil lol! so i found a replacement on ebay for the sum of £120 notes,engine was listed as a 65,000 miler and the guy seemed very genuine aswell (50 ish very nice house,2 mk4 escorts outside and a tr6 in the garage,which also housed many many parts which he was selling) also had a rattle on my gearbox (layshaft) and had an oil seal go on it to.

 

so parts replaced and things ive done.....

 

65,000 mile engine (painted block)

new gearbox (painted black)

new plugs
