Well the finger nails are pretty filthy , contrary to what some may think i have been getting my hands dirty on this project , i even helped pete fit the donk and been cleaning parts , wiring ,  painting brackets ,radiator ,fitted transmission cooler and some engine bay bits , so the finger nails arn't to tasty at the moment.


Yeh chris has been hanging around like a bad smell the last few weeks;x
But he has been a help with the cleaning and painting, he just fitted a round rubber gromet into an oval hole in the firewall which he was pretty happy with ;x;x;x

Chris took the car this afternoon to run her in, but from what it feels like so far with throttle response and torque this car is ballistic!!! which is good to see after all the effort that went in to it.
We will post the final results as soon as its run in.
