No worries Mike- With the fan showing it kind of remind's me of a that old school Ford pinto style engine, sounds like it will look awesome-

working on the panels at the moment getting them ready to paint :)

Woo! Yours are by far my favourite updates on this forum.

lol why? it's not much of an update lol

The fact that it is getting closer to finished is a good enough update!!! I think we all just want to see it painted and looking sweet

i know i'm so sorry guys for the long drawn out thread i also wanna see it done and i'm doing all in my power to try get it done

done a little polishing tonight but no pix as of yet.

Going to elsecar tomorrow so will post some pix tomorrow night :)

started polishing some engine bits ready for the re build :)

here's a few pix

taken my starter apart for painting and polishing

the guts

top of starter

one of my pistons back in and polished (cleaned)

head and inlet mani

new studs and bolts for exaust mani

Oh hellllll yes.

WOW.

This is gonna be thee bollocks! and it's done yourself! How on earth you have the patience to polish everything up that well. Such intercut shapes and such is beyond me, well done indeed

lol i did the sanding by hand, no grinder flap wheels and no quality polishing/abrasive mop just elbow grease.

i sanded the pitted texture back with p80 then moved on to p120 then p240 and finished with 1000 wet and dry then just used a mop on a drill with autosol.

some bits need abit more work but happy so far

Polish things for people - earn polo fundings

i wouldn't have time to do my car or even have fingers left lol

would help i suppose but not gunna be doing that much polishing just little things really.
