Welding in action!

New brakes & pads on the back! Last set cooked due to nurburgring being their last use (fronts OK luckily)

Offered up initially

However, this one is better at doing that. Those two bolts poking out are they!

Pistons - original ones, but with the Rosten rods (I know there's only 3 there......)

Mongrel inside looking bad! Mould growing on many surfaces like belts & the steering wheel!

Cleaning up of the pistons! cleaned up VS carbon'd up one!

How long has it been sat Jason? That looks like a lot of mold :S

Coming along well though, whats your planned output for it in this incarnation?

Engine has not ran since mid September and been sat over winter either outside the garage it is in, or inside (not heated or anything)

I will spend some of Friday cleaning up the inside, and then give it a proper valet inside once I get the car back. :thumbup:

Aiming for 300bhp+ once tuned up.
