I did another project a few months ago but never updated it so ill start again.
i bought this very tidy shell that someone had clearly spent alot of time and money on doing.
The previous history to it as i know is that it had an XE on throttle bodies not really sure.
my plans are a c20let with a few tricky bits on the way for it.
bits i have so far-
c20let
bilstein coilovers
ap bells and discs
hi spec 4 pot calipers
few gsi bits

not had chance to touch it since easter as iv had uni etc but as i have broke up now im looking at spending alot of time on it
I had a few problems with the block of the origanal engine as it was scrap pretty much so it took me a long time to find a decent engine and came accross a very tidy 8v engine which i used and came out very nice
8v Doner engine
the let being built from the 8v block
The let built and ready
Some pretty new bonnet catches which i jizzed over for ages haha
Engine in

As it stands at the moment
Thats about it kids relly untill next time try and get cracking on it very soon
