yeah its getting there ben was hoping to have it finished this year but its looking more like spring next year, ive done a lot more but i think the computer would freak out if i put all the pics on here there's loads of them Very Happy so far the gearbox has been re-built the engine's pretty much done ive got a shed load of new parts for it if i could find it new ive brought it if not the old ones been re-conditioned so should be like a new car once its done!
