shame your across the world to not work on it lol

will deffo be a lot better in the new form

looks the business mate... love yellow with black rims cars

I will try and get my bro to take pics of the work lads, its difficult being half way round the world!

Cheers for all the kind comments, im hoping it should make it a solid track car especially once the cage and engine are done next winter :D

have you decided on a cage yet??

A good list that Josh, will get a hell of a lot more of out the car which will be interesting
to see. This the final stage or..?

nice list josh, :) i like it.

what happened to more power in that stage 3 spec list though?

Alot of good work gone into it i realy like it :y:

you should know its not rushy
he will find a way to get more from it

Need to add "change rear lights". Thats been way overdue :p

haha Rush your gay! Lee - need to be sensible and weight up my options, ive decided its best to do a proper job over next winter than to do a half arsed job just to get it ready for the ring!

Alex - cage will be the lightweight omp one with added bars :D

josh you planning a pistons out job again? your dads gonna love you!

at least its not a kitchen table job or else you will be in the dog house :P

you going silly with tha cage or semi normal?

i wanna see someone else with a cage like mine lol

Semi normal Alex, need to be weight conscious!

Yes bottom end rebuild again Ryan, will do a proper job this time rods etc :D

lol ripping the engine appart again, should have done rods before :P

at least will mean you can rev it properly then, although i expect sandy might encourage you to ditch the GMC airbox and trumpets. The cams you said on shed he seems to have used in a few engines now.

lol im countering the weight of mine with an angle grinder :panic:
should be good lol
