Sonicriot13 0 Posted November 24, 2009 you've been gone for a while joe. any more progress? A little bit mate. I've honed the cylinders and prepped the block for painting. It's looking lovely I must say. Picking up a few bits from CTWG60 at Stealth on Sunday and then I can start the rebuild of the engine in earnest. That's pretty much all that's left now. Rebuild the engine and plonk it back in. Will put a massive update up with loads of pics in a couple of weeks. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
