The engine is in!

And there we have it, with relative ease the engine is in. Nuff said, onto the pix.

Red-Box.. yep you read right!

Well, yesterday Funky and I got a little bored. My engine mounts were screwed, and so the engine couldn't go in. So instead we painted the box.

I must say, that even though I expected it to look shit, I think the end effect looks quite cool. And really its not going to be seen anyway.

Tiny Update :)

Shine, Engine Bay... Please ?!
Well, the old (read: crappy) engine is on the stand, and I've been prepping the engine bay with loads of elbow grease. While redbob will receive a new coat, the engine bay will not. So my aim it to make it look its best. :)


Cut & Polish
Whilst in the polishing mood, I attacked other various weather stricken parts I was surprised to see how they came up. The bonnet came out great, and heres an example of the boot.


New Front Bar
I also purchased the replacement fibreglass front bar from carmate - while its more sturdy than my last bar, the fitment quality is atrocious. It will be *ok* in the end, but I must say for my low standards I did expect more.
