Cut out the wheel well

More cutting of the door, need to remove the bars. Then once the doors painted I can fit carbon door cards

Sanding the bumper

Cars and the let! 

This was his old XE engine that was in that nova, can't wait to see the let in it. Never seen a cleaner nova underneath!!

Looks stunning

Small update.
Took off the remaining black stuff and buffed metal for welding 

Picked up a gearbox from a guy near me with mounts and linkage. He said he didn't know how much it was worth so offered him £30, steel! Needs a BIG clean and paint.


Sorted my mates inlet wiring for injectors. Gonna look so nice when it's fitted!
